After a mains pipe burst up here just got the water back after a day..however cold flow is fine but only a small amount of (cold) water comes from the hot tap before drying up..any ideas ?
TIA
 
Do u have a combi boiler or do u have a hot water cylinder(tank)?
If its a tank its a certainty that dirt has made it up to the ballcock and is blocking it. Go into loft and give the ballcock arm a shake. If tank is full it means u have an airlock in the hot waterpipework.
 
What sort of hot water setup do you have? Combi boiler? Hot water cylinder? If HWC, is it vented or unvented?
 
air lock on the hot, thats if u have a tank in the atic an a copper cylinder, if u have a mixer tap in the kitchen open the hot side up put your hand over the outlet of the tap an open the cold up, you may get wet so keep tight hold give it few mins, turn the cold off an try the hot again see if it runs
 
It was an airlock in the system..connected a hose from cold to hot water from washing machine and worked a treat.
Thanks all for replies.
