No hot water from any taps

[Peterd1234]

Hi everyone, just found your forum and joined. Hope you can help me. May be in need of a plumber. The problem started when we changed the taps in the kitchen. We could not find the cut off tap, so had to turn off from the main 1.25" gate valve on the roof. After this we turned back on, but no water coming out of any hot taps. I think the system is an indirect as we have a copper cylinder with the central heating coil inside. It has an inlet at the bottom and outlet at the top. I have tried covering the mixer outlet on the bath and opening the hot then the cold to try and pump water back, but this did nothing. I'm not sure if the big gate valve is broken in the shut position. There does not seem to be any water coming into the copper cylinder.
Regards
Pete

No it does not keep turning. But is very lose. Plus this is a very old 1.25" gate valve, there are 3 and the others all seem quite firm.

could try cracking the outlet connection and see if you get any water out

You have checked the water in the dhw storage tank in the loft haven't you? Its just that it has not been mentioned.

This is fed from a big tank on the roof of the flats. That is full.

Gonna have to check the gate valve on cold feed to cylinder as suggested.
