Hi

I recently purchased a ground floor flat and am currently stripping everything out. I have stripped out the electric heating system, hot water cylinder, kitchen and bathroom sinks.

The kitchen and bathroom sinks both had their own stop cocks so removing them was easy. My problem is the bath. The cold water supply comes straight out of the concrete floor and connects to the bath cold water tap. I can't see a stop cock or isolating value (the pipe is also lead i think).

Can someone give me some advice on how to turn off the cold water supply to the bath? I have looked everywhere in and outside the flat for another stop cock but can't find one.

Thanks for replying.

Pipe freezers, thats an interesting solution to the problem, first i've ever heard of them.

Think this may be a job for my plumber.  

I've looked everywhere in the flat for the stop cock. Is it possible that there may be a sort of communal stop cock somewhere that would cut the water off to my flat but also other flats?
