How do I stop hot water from coming out of the pipe in the roof please?

Maybe turn off all water at the mains, till you get it sorted.

Do you have a fire with a wetback heater? If so, use some hot water and don't have the fire raging so hot.

If it is just electric hot water, possibly the thermostat is faulty. Turn your hot water off at the switch. You can turn it off/on as you need water (but don't leave on over night), until you can get it fixed. Call an electrician.

Yes we have a wetback. The fire only usually goes from about 4-10pm. I noticed the water coming out about midday.
