You combi boiler should have a valve on the cold water inlet somewhere.
Turn that off and that should stop all flow from your hot taps. Turning
off your main stopcock should also do this so whatever you turned off
before either *isnt* your main stop cock or you have a hot water tank
youve not told us about. ;-)

Thanks Tim
No hot water tank all goes through combi boiler, it seems as if hot water to machine comes straight from there. Looks like I will need to stop water in the whole block, unless I can isolate the water going to machine, when I isolate the water in the flat via stopcock in cupboard I dont get any water from hot or cold tap but water is still gushing out of pipe at washing machine if I try to disconnect - sorry new home and new to this
