    Hi
    Just looking for some advice. We have no water in our hot tap but all the cold ones are fine. Our hot water is heated by a Kerosene burner, which is working fine and heating the rads. The large cold water tank in the attic is full and is filling fine.
    Anyone have an idea what I should do?
    Thanks

    Your pipe between the hot water tank and taps is frozen at some point I'd imagine. Are all hot taps gone?

    Hi

    We're having the same trouble - the hot tap in kitchen is fine and cold taps throughout working ok, but bath and sink hot taps in bathroom = Nada. Been 3 days now. Tryed the old shower hose trick on hot and cold taps already in case it was an airlock but to no avail... Any suggestions greatly received. ;)

    only thing u can do is try to heat around the areas that you think the pipes run

    I was about to post about the same issue. I have no water in hot taps or toilet.

    People have been suggesting I point a hair dryer at my water tank.

    We have an extension off the back of the house/kitchen.
    The bathroom is in the extension as is the hot water tank (which is lagged).
    All the pipes going to the tank are roasting!! I don't think the pipe actually goes outside?
    Very confused

    you hot water pipes may be airlocked. You will need to reintroduce pressure to resolve this. One way is to turn off the hot and cold value feeding your washing machine. Connect the cold to the hot and open both values so that cold water will pump up the hot. Give it 30 seconds. If your cold taps are fine in your bathrooms then to me it doesnt sound like a freeze.
