Hot water but no heating, pressure is v.low, how do I fix?

The boiler pressure reading is close to zero and I have no heating in all of my rooms except the one nearest to the boiler. Is it a simple matter of re-pressurizing the boiler and if so how is it done?

Repressurize your boiler via filling loop, a flexible silver hose usually situated on pipework close to boiler. Top it up to approx 1.5 bar and vent radiators. Pressure will drop slightly, so top up again to 1.5 bar when cold.
