Want to make sure I have everything required to avoid not having water. Due to the current lack of isolation valve if I fuck it up then no water for whole house :)
Consider fitting isolation valves on both pipes whilst you're there.

Mains or tank fed (not always mains as it should be) have a couple of big buckets for drainage and swapping over.
Do you have an outside tap you can use to drain down once isolated?

Want to replace tap in kitchen.
I believe the current flexi hose terminates with a male end piece. New tap came with female connector.
flexi hose (female) > male isolation valve > copper pipe, correct?
Anything to bear in mind when I take the old flexi hose off? As there is no isolation valve anywhere near, just the main stop cock I assume there could be a lot of water?
Will the old compression nut come off okay? Or might I need to cut the copper pipe?
