No water coming out from upstairs hot taps
Hi there I am in urgent need of help!!
The weather has plummeted over the past week so at nights its -6 so this may be the cause. Anyways, since early this morning there has been no water coming out from the upstairs hot taps, both sink and bath. The cold taps work fine, I have checked downstairs and the hot water is coming out fine from the kitchen sink and bathroom taps, I have tried bleeding all the radiators, airing the system with no solution. I have also noticed when I put the central heating on that just the heater closest to the boiler gets extremely warm but the rest are frozen cold. The weather has been very cold the past two weeks but we did not have any issues until this morning. Any help or advice would be appreciated thanks!

Hi it sounds like you have an air lock in your system , if your system is gravity fed ( you have a copper cylinder in your airing cupboard ) you need to connect a hose pipe from your cold water mains tap in the kitchen and connect the other part to the hot water tap , turn both taps on and the cold water will spray up the hot water pipes and push the air from the pipes up stairs . You need to make sure the water goes up the hose for a good minute or two
It’s your diverter valve .or possible 3 port or two port valve
You maybe need to install a pump
