I need to fix a hot tap in a sink in a relative's house (either clean

What's the correct procedure for turning off the flow of hot water
from the boiler in order to cut the pipe and put a service valve in?
Should there be a valve somewhere downstream of the boiler,
Unless there is a ballvalve isolator inline with the tap, there is no
standard valving - it's always house dependent.
or do I
turn off the main stopcock coming in?
Quite possibly.
Thanks.
