Can you have heating but no hot water?
A relatively common fault with boilers sees the central heating work with no hot water. If you cannot get your hot water back on by changing your controls, timer and thermostat or by resetting the appliance, then you will have to contact a Gas Safe engineer to get it examined.

If your radiators are always on but you have no hot water The valve has almost certainly stuck in the heating position. The cylinder thermostat is calling for hot water from the boiler, but the stuck valve means it can only go through the radiators.
How does a hot tap work on a radiator?
You simply have to run the hot tap at a slower rate than you normally would. Diverter valves switch heat between the hot water and the central heating. When you turn your hot tap on, the diverter valve temporarily shuts off the water supply for your central heating, and when you turn the tap off, the valve reopens and feeds your radiators.
