I have a Worcester...

I have a Worcester combi boiler and this morning I have no heating. The reset light is flashing which I keep pressing but the pilot light then keeps going out. Pressure bar is at 1. Do you have any suggestions please? Thanks

Contractor's Assistant: I'll do all I can to help. How long have you been dealing with this?

Just this morning. I'm in the south west and we had a dreadful night weather wise. It was working at 1am though

Contractor's Assistant: Do you plan on doing the work yourself?

It's covered under British gas warranty but they can't come out until Tuesday and I'm pretty much snowed in. Aaarrrghh!

Contractor's Assistant: Anything else we should know to help you best?

I had 2 radiators replaced but not plumbed in on Tuesday and the system was drained but the boiler has been working fine until this morning

Contractor's Assistant: How long has this been going on? And how severe is the problem?

The boiler wasn't working when I got up. Temperature in the house is current,y currently 18 degrees and the panel shows the pilot light on so I'm not desperate at the moment

Is the boiler firing to give you heat?

Customer reply replied 5 years ago

Thank you but it was sorted by pouring hot water on the external pipes. Thanks!

Plumber: Andrew Smith, Engineer replied 5 years ago

No problem.
I was talking to people at 2am getting to do that.
A permanent solution would be to lag the pipe.
