yes.forgot to say......

If you drain the systrm down on a combi you wont be able to have a shower fed from the combi. You will be able to fill the kettle though

You could still operate the boiler if you have isolation valves for the heating system under the boiler.
Switch them off and refill the boiler. You should have hot water then.

i found the isolation valve.theres 5 pipes coming from boiler.3 are 22mm and 2 are 15mm.the isolation valve is on one of the 15mm pipes.i can only see the one.i think it might be a cold water pipe 'cos it's a lot darker coloured than the others.is this the one i need to turn off before draining down the radiators.thanks
