Thats not enough, I'm afraid - a small volume of water will still pass.
You need to remove the TRV head completely, and replace it with a 'decorators cap' that would have come with the TRV when it was new....this effectively presses down the valve pip enough to completely close it.
John :)
 
Count yourself lucky. Turning the TRV to O will often stop water flow, only to open at night or during the day when you are out due to a temperature drop.

If you don't have a decorators cap, fit a stop end.
