Is there a legal requirement to have an internal stop cock (love that name)?

We have an external one but I think that turns off water to the hole segment of flats we're in. There's no internal one listed on the survey and I've never found one. We can turn off almost everything, except water to the shower, which is of course the thing that's got issues.

hole segment

Filth.

I have a wrench you can borrow to turn off the outside one if you need.

We had the same problem atbour old place, although we eventually found the stop cock was just by the boiler albeit coloured yellow - which meant I overlooked it, thinking it was for gas...

You know me. I fill the whole hole.

Do you know what the wrench is called? I think I should own one, if it's the only way to turn off our water!

I'll have a closer look but I'm pretty sure I've identified all the taps and what they do. Even the survey guy didn't find it.
