Basic plumbing advice

[woodford]

Mornin all,

I'm installing a kitchen for the first time and have struggled with the electrics and am now attempting the plumbing.

Does anyubosy know a good book for general advice on plumbing. I'm putting in a new sink and taps, but the existing pipework do not have isolating valves, therefore I need to shut the main stop cock off.

My questions are

i) will I have problems with my combi boiler when I trun the water off or does it have a fail safe for when pressures drop?
ii) if I got a plumber in to do this work if I chickened out, does anymore know a ball-park figure they may charge?
iii) there are alot of cheap taps on ebay. Does anybody know if they are any good? I don't want to buy cheap only to have to buy expensive later if they are sh*te.

any advice help, greatly appreciated

Michael.
