Airlock Hell!

    Old house and whenever water shut off we have a nitemare with airlocks.

    This time we needed immersion changed downstairs and I shut off one value in the attic that fed the hot water tank there.

    Ever since though, the upstairs bathroom has no cold water in sink or bath.

    I’ve tried a hose from the hot on each to the respective cold but no joy.

    I also think both cold taps are linked somehow (same pipe from attic with a T perhaps) and when I open one can hear air come out some times but no sign of any water.

    Any tips as to what else I can try as been like this for weeks now?

    Thanks

    Put a hose on it from kitchen cold or outside tap. Those will be under mains pressure.
