Water sounds like it is off at the mains which could be in the flat below , need access to there to check, or it been cut off for non payment , heater would not stop main flow , it is off at the main
best I can tell you ,
hi mate, yeh I finally found out what the problem was, it was a burst pipe in the empty flat below me, under the floorboards. When I looked around the rear of my property I live in the water was pouring out of a hole in the brick work. It has now been like this for six days, the water is now coming out the front of the building too!. Finally I managed to get the landlord to break into the downstairs flat, as they said that they were unable to find the key all this time!, what a joke, why didnt they just break the lock in the first place, it was only a yale lock. So the man is in the flat now, hopefully he will be able to fix the leaking pipe, but from the trouble I have been having with them I wont bank on it just yet!. Thanks for the first reply, it was good to talk to someone at the time, even if you wasnt to know the cause, which from my situation at the time you wouldnt have known. Thanks to Fixya.
wow some leak if this flat below is empty then some heat in there would stop this going again , also the landlord is going have to dry the place out or it will stink of wet water , and that is bad , thanks for you comment nice to know how these things turn out , I answer stuff on here not many come back , thanks

hi, me again, finally sorted the problem of no water in my flat out of the taps!, when I noticed my water had first gone off was when the council were outside tarmacing the pavement, and it turned out that it was one of the guys going over the water tap/meter box on the path outside my flat with a roller, they had damaged the pipe inside the box causing it to split and burst, so all the water was tracking back along the outside of the pipe and filled up the bottom cavity under the floorboards in the ground floor flat, we wasn't getting any water upstairs to our flats as there was no pressure and the water was all leaking out the broken pipe. And to think the maitenance man ripped the flat below me to bits trying to find the leak and I spent a total of 12 days with no water!. I had phoned the water company on the second day but they said there was nothing they could do, we wasnt sure where the leak was coming from at the time, but luckily I decided to phone them again after 11 days as I was getting no where with my landlord sorting it out, and the water company sent a man round within an hour, and the water stoptap/meter was dug up and replaced the next day.
