Terry, send me your paypal email and I'll put a £5 in for a pint! :-)

Madrab, Terry Plumb. Thank you so much. Tried the hose and then tried the hand underneath to force water back into the hot water and after doing it for the last couple of hours it's finally sorted!!! How do I buy you both a pint as thanks?

Ok. So from my understanding upstairs cold comes from the water tank and it's only the downstairs that comes from the tank. I tried your technique and it seems to have done something as I now have a trickle of hot water coming out of the hot water side and I can feel the hot water pipe is now...

There's no isolation valve. Water will come out of the tap, but just not on hot side.

Sorry, what do you mean "don't chase?". Do you mean don't let it touch the breeze block? I've since read that it's not good for copper pipes to touch breeze blocks.

I have a cold water pipe that is running along my wall for my downstairs toilet. I would like to chase it into the wall, so that I can then put tongue and groove over the top without the box at the bottom. Is this okay to do? Will it be a problem if I chisel into the breeze blocks?
