When u say no hot water do you mean the water runs cold or the water does not run from tap at all. If there is no water check the tank in th attic is not dry (which supplys cold water to the cylinder). If the tanks is full and seems to operating correctly, check that the cold feed to the cylinder has not been isolated (the gate valve has been turned off). If none of the above then u have a blockage or an air lock. Please message back for suggestions on how to fix.
