Sorted your problem yet, if not you have two options. I no you have said their are no valves in your airing cupboard, the pipe you are looking to isolate is a 22mm copper pipe which connects up to the very bottom of the cylinder, the correct valve usually fitted on this pipe would be a gate vale, this is a valve with a red wheel head. If this valve is not present you need to tie up the ballvalve in the storage tank. If you have a conventional system you will have 2 tanks up in the attic, you need to tie up the ballvalve in the bigger tank. If you have a combined cylinder, this is a cylinder with a storage area at the bottom and a header tank incoperated into the top, tie up the ballvalve in the top of the cylinder. Now you need to isolate the main. This is normally around the front door, under the stairs or some where in the kitchen, worst case turn it off out in the street. the hot tap will run untill the storage tank is drained. As you have the storage tank drained and the cold water off i would advise fitting a gate valve to the pipe i first mentioned. any future proplems and the hot water can be turned off immedietaly. good luck. P.S. Open all hot taps or when you take your kitchen tap apart even when drained you will get spurts of water coming through which would have been previously airlocked.

Good Luck.
