Yeah, have one of those but not specific to the taps. As far as I can work out it will isolate the boiler as well, so should be all good. Not gonna investigate further on a Sunday afternoon.
Don't understand what the red hose is doing. It goes in the direction of the washing machine and dishwasher, but I'm pretty certain that the washing machine is only connected to the cold (blue hose at the top) and the boiler doesn't fire when the dishwasher is on. Bathroom hot is fed from the pipe going out the bottom of the picture.
Always been curious why the white tap would have been installed. Temptation to turn it is enormous, even though I know what will come out.

Just seems to be a couple of copper pipes connected to 90 degree compression fittings. No valves anywhere to be seen.
Presumably those pipes will have something like this at the other end?
So unless I'm mistaken it's a case of undoing the compression fittings, removing the whole lot, swapping the tails onto the new tap (hoping that they're the same thread), fitting that and reconnecting it. And some LSX.
Sounds worryingly straightforward.
