toilet cistern not filling

Rock Paper Scissors

Hey guys,

We had a guy up today doing a cctv drain survey and while he was here he told us to turn on every tap in the house and the bath / shower.

The tanks in the attic have since filled up and all the taps are working but the toilet cistern is not filling up with water. It was fine today.

Its a dual flush toilet, i opened it up but i dont know what im looking at.

Any ideas what could be wrong lads?

All taps were running so attic tank water level probably went below level of tank outlet to bathroom and caused an airlock.

Is bathroom cold tap affected? does same pipe feed cold taps and toilet?

Bathroom taps are fine, in the sink and bath and the shower works fine. Its just the toilet

Im not sure if the same pipes feed the cold taps and toilet, they pipes are hidden in.

If it is an airlock, is there anyway to fix it?

Thanks for your reply mate

All sorted lads.

Just got a piece of hose and stuck it up the cold tap and blew and the toilet is filling up

Good job! - if it ever happens again and is more difficult to resolve, try running a hose from a mains pressure cold tap in your kitchen to the bathroom tap . . .
