Stop Tap Advice Please

Hello, So just moved in to a property and can't find the internal stop tap looked everywhere, I just wanted to check that the the pictures attached where my metre is is the external one and I cam use this to turn water off ? The key was in the hole next to metre , Thanks

Yes, that should be yours, but double check before cutting into any pipework or disconnecting anything. What type of property is it?

Open a tap go back to meter check dials are moving turn it off might be 1/4 turn only and should stop turning within 10 seconds

It's a semi, my neighbour advised its ours and his is next to it, his internal stop tap is undersink but I can see one in ours and the previous owner has a built in washer so can't pull it out without cutting the plimf, so just wanted to check I can use the external one incase of an emergency

If your neighbour’s is under their sink, then yours might be similar, can you pull the plinth/kickboard down?

No it's fixed in but the washer is old so I assume it will have to come out sooner rather than later see pics

Bottom shelf eg cleaning supplies anything on the back of that ?

See pic I've ripped away some if the wood backing and these pipes they go off to the right behind washer machine

Have you checked the unit to the right in the bottom half of that one should be a cut out if there a stop tap but likely it’s behind the washer

No it's just the washer to the right and yes I agree I think it will be behind, I will cut the plimf and pull it out, cheers
