No water from taps apart from cold kitchen

I have water from the cold tap in the kitchen but none from others. The boiler has zero pressure could this be the problem?

Hi Darren if you have a vented system with a cold water storage tank in the property and there is only cold water coming from your kitchen tap symptoms have the making of an air lock some ware in the system. If you have a mixer tap in the kitchen try opening the hot tap hold your hand over the outlet and slowly turn the cold outlet on do this for about 30 seconds. This will push water back up the pipe and can push the trapped air out at the tank you will hear it happen. Hope this helps. Thanks A.

Hi Darren, a lot of the older systems was fitted with a large tank in the loft & supply the bathroom, but the kitchen would be mains fed. It may be the float valve has jammed, check water level.

Have you got a combi boiler if so I would check the incoming main as it doesnt sound as if you have enough pressure to drive the water to the upper levels you should still have water to the hot taps even n when the boiler isnt on
