Hot water prob   
When I turn my programmer to heat the water, nothing happens until I turn 
the heating demand on as well. Could it be a faulty cylinder stat?
Thanks

It could be. But look at

and let us know what type of system you have

I also meant to ask. Is this fault new? ie new fault or your new house? Has 
anything been changed on the heating?

Do you have access to a multimeter? You could check the tank stat with this, 
but it is more likely to be a buggered 3 port valve.
