Our fridge freezer has an external water filter, we had builders in and they knocked the filter and it is now leaking.

There is a valve connecting the filter to the water supply, however I can’t work out how to turn the water off. There is a small threaded hole on the front about 5mm wide, is there something I need to insert in there to turn it?
 
Any pictures should be a washing machine valve eg brass nub with two flats if so need to use some pliers to turn the flats 90 Deg

How to identify dripping tap.
Our kitchen mixer tap has started dripping. Like so much of the plumbing in our almost new build bungalow, it is lacking! The plumber didn't install any isolating cocks in the H&C feed to the tap so how can I identify which of the valves is passing? Shut the whole H&C water system down?
