If you don’t know where your mains stopcock is I’d try find it or else buy a toby key so you can turn it off in the street should you need to in an emergency!

Yeah, I know where it is and I have the key for it. I can't remember why I have the key for it but presume it was something to do with removing the cold water tank and immersion heater many years ago. Or maybe it was just paranoia, having had a few previous places start pissing water for some reason and not knowing where the mains was...

I have no idea what it costs to do but it's annoying I've watched my old man do it for nothing (he has some plumbing tools though) and here you need to involve Thames "We don't know where you live" Water if you need to move a meter. I could probably just isolate the cupboard pipes and remove everything in there myself and save a chunk of work but doing it half DIY and half with the tradies will presumably slow stuff down (and I've not looked to see if it's possible, if there's enough valves to do it).
