You need to top the system back up - is it a combi-boiler ? If so it should have either and integral or external flling loop in order to top it up. Check with boiler instructions if you have them.
Good Luck.

switch your boiler off .underneath your boiler there should be a fill loop lever turn it till you hear water flowing check the pressure gauge on your boiler youll see the black needle moving turn the lever back to the normal position when your pressure gets to about 2 switch the boiler back on should be good
