no cold water (except from mains supplied one in kitchen)

[L.WOOD]

Drained tank to change a sink and now I have no toilet flush or cold water from any of the taps connected to tank in loft (all taps effected are mixer). I do have hot water. can anyone assist please????

Is this a seperate cold storage from the hot water cold storage tank? have you checked that ball valve hasn't stuck up?

Check for blockages in outlet in cold tank. Put a hose from cold mains tap onto cold tap from tank and turn on mains. May push any blockage back into tank or remove an airlock.

Air locks can sometimes be a pig to resolve was at one once after the the other lads had been attempting to resolve it for 3 days!! Try back pressure through the washing machine hoses ,connect the cold hose on to the hot supply valve ,that is providing its not just a cold fed machine and there ain't any non return valves fitted you may have to bypass em .sorry mate its a case off suck it and see,am afraid just got to keep at it . Check when your back pressurising that the water is going in to storage tank through the outlet in the tank, other than that your on your own unless someone else can suggest something.

Hi everyone, just a quick note if this helps anyone else - Main cold water valve from tank was stuck and only partially opened after a bit of elbow grease once fully opened airlock dispursed through system. typical oversight from person not meant to be doing diy.
