Disaster drop out site

We've had problems with the boiler on and off since we moved in. It fails to ignite, it depressurises, it's generally tempremantal. Well this evening I had to repressurise it. All was going well. The pressure was back, the valves were off, the heating was working. Then we sprung a leak in the hot water cupboard. Noi idea what caused it but it seems to have been connected to a valve going in the bit you use to pressurise the boiler. When I say "sprung a leak" I really mean water was spraying out at face height.

After sitting on the water tank holding a bucket trying to work out what on earth to do I ended up having to chuck as many absorbant items as I could, on the floor before running downstairs (dripping wet) to try and find out where the water turns off.

Didn't find the mains tap but after turning off 5 taps I found in the water cupboard, the leak stopped. This is a photo of the carnage that was left in the bath afterwards... a bath full of towels and duvets and at the top, my soggy sheepskin rug that got caught in the spray.

So now we're without water or heat until the morning.
