I have a isolating stopcock in my bathroom but it switches off both the w.c inlet and the shower. As the shower plumbing is buried in the wall under the tiling, will my only option( for a sole shower isolating stopcock ) will be to install it in the loft? Would be glad of your advice.Thanks
 
It will be wherever you have access to just the shower pipework
 
Yes as Riley said find the pipework to the shower and fit one as close as possible

Also you need / will want a full bore ISO / lever valve
