why is my car only blowing hot air?

my ford ka's heater is only blowing very hot air out. even when i turn the temperature to the coolest setting, the air remains very hot. i tried to use the air conditioning but the same thing happened, only hot air. the ventilators were very hot and when i turned them around to close them, they were very hot. any ideas on how to fix this?
my ford ka luxury is a 2006 model.
would appreciate any feedback.

i only get hot air in my vaxhaul vectra, then for a couple of months it was fine, i was getting cold air but now its back to just warm air

the guys at the ford garage said that the air conditioning needs re-gassing. what do you think about this comment? please reply asap.

thank you nigel, that was very helpful. my dad has taken it to the ford garage today to get it looked at so will compare diagnosis with him tonight! Thank you for replying. i didn't think anyone would! Thanks!

sounds like the heater valve on the engine bulkhead has failed in the fully open position about £30 and 1hr to fit
