Which doesn't exist. The only stop tap in the entire house is the rising main. No isolation taps, no service valves, nothing. If I'd been the customer specifying this housebuild, I'd be demanding some money back.
Hmm. My landlord's a joiner, so I wouldn't be surprised if plumbing stuff just goes over his head.
JGH
I can see that might be annoying! (The valves are normally part of the boiler...quarter turn brass screwdriver head taps)
The other option is getting a restricter that goes in the shower head. Some of the water saving heads have a choice of perforated discs you install to restrict the flow. I used one of these to quite good effect on a Mira 88 low pressure mixer that ended up working at mains pressure after a swap to a combi. The boiler had no difficulty delivering the water flow, but the temperature adjustment on the mixer was ultra sensitive and concentrated all into a tiny part of the available adjustment. Adding a slight restriction widened out the control range quite a bit.
My landlord's a structural engineer. Did you notice the slope on the lounge floor as the whole building slides slowly downhill ;-(
