More info about your system please ;)

Do you have a pump?
Do you have motorized valves - how many?
Do you have a cylinder thermostat?

There are no motorized valves...The pump does my hot water as well as the heating...There are larger pipes coming from the hot water cylinder
 
if there are no motorised vales, then when heating is on, you will also get hot water and vice versa-not very confortable!

basically.. you could have a faulty cyinder thermostat (like i have)! or it may just be turned down - check it is set to 60 degrees

So the pipe, after the pump, has two branches; one branch goes to the radiators, the other goes into the side of the HW cylinder?

How do you turn the heating off when you only want hot water, i.e in the summer?
 
the dial on what - a timer???

most systems have at LEAST 1 motorised valve (on the heating circuit,) to stop rads warming up in summer when you ony want hot water!
