A simple check would be to shut off all upstair rediators and see if the downstairs rad heat up. Failing that, assuming the system is air free, the installation pipework would have to be checked. Your plumber should prove there are no air locks and check system is balanced to ensure an even distribution of heat.

hi cynthia , seems your pump is not working and with " no circulation ! the hot water rises and leaves your ground floor radiators cold ! best of luck with your plumber !

I have the same problem, how did it go?

Check pump, a tap on the pump body may free it, or remove screw and try to get impeller going - if that fails then a new pump is required.
