No water coming out of hot tap

Turned it on earlier and nothing came out at all. Cold water’s fine. What's going on?

"Hi Jenny, it could be a few different things causing the issue — But if you’ve got cold water coming out of the taps and no hot, the most likely cause is an airlock, especially if your system is gravity-fed."

"HI Jenny,

Thanks for you message, this could be down to a number of reason from a blockage to an issue with the boiler. I can arrange a plumber to attend today as a call out.

Call out fee - £145.98 for the first hour, most jobs are completed within this time.

Thanks so much,
Sian"

"This is probably an air lock. Can be fixed by holding your hand on the spout of the tap and pushing cold up through the hot"
