boiler not working

[leanne_1987]

Had a Gas check yesterday and since then i havent had and no water...turn it on and it sounds like its trying to light up and ignite but wont any ideas what it can be or what i can do other than ring them back up, they wont come till after weekend and i really need a bath

Is there a separate switch that turns on the power to the water pump?

[brihamilton1]

thats what i would have said----follow the mains cable running from boiler---make sure its switched on

[leanne_1987]

you mean the switch on wall next to it were i turn it on? when i turn that on thats when it makes the igniting noise, licking like its trying to come on but doesnt stop clicking as it should do

the heating will stay on but not the hot water

[brihamilton1]

is the gas valve turned on and the water valve on== on pipes under boiler ---when you turn the water you will hear it fill up---should fill only to 1 and a half bar (pressure)then turn fill valve off---but not water supply

Hi, if it hasn't worked since they were there I would tell them that you want them to come out today, not turn up after the weekend. If it was working before they came and it's not now then it is probably something that they did. If the heating works but not the hot water then I don't think there is much you could do yourself. If the pressure is low then the heating wouldn't come on either. Gas should always be left for the professionals.

managed to get it working, think the bloke put a limit on to how hot i could have my water set at, i turned that down and seems to be working now... well there is no more clicking noises
