Wives tale water and central both on

[sawhead]

Just a query, do you have to have the hot water switched on when you have the central heating on, or is it ok just to have one or the other on?

water/central heating/both

Its all good. However, if you have a hot water cylinder and you need to have hot water for that nice relaxing bath with Mr. Matey bubble bath😀 and scented candles 😱then your better off turning off the central heating as this will heat up the water quicker.

Sometimes one or the other, sometimes both - just depends on the system. If radiators are warming when hot water is on then it's usually the motorised valve that has failed.

its a central heating system powered by a rayburn 20380L I presume it heats the water as well - so is it ok to have just one or the other turned on?

Yep its fine, by turning the hot water circ off basically all your doing is cutting "so to speak" a radiator out of circulation. It would be fine to run one or the other and even both.
