Hi
We recently had a plumber round to fit a new radiator. He drained the central heating system to do so (though not by doing anything with the header tank as I have read in a few FAQs - he turned the mains supply off instead). Anyway - the central heating is now working fine. However we have had no hot water since he left - a couple of days now. We did not realise this for a while since there was a full tank of water when he finished and when this ran out we each thought the other was using up all the hot water. The pipes leading to the hot water tank are not hot either. The boiler & system are pretty old (maybe the wrong side of 20 years old).
I am trying to contact the plumber but there is no answer so I thought I would try here in case it is a simple matter.
Please let me know if I need to provide more details.
