No service plan Snoops ...expired 2 months ago and i haven't renewed redface:
The pilot light will only appear when igniting manually but as soon as you stop pressing the button it goes out.
Pressure is adequate, although mine is rising noooo:
-
It's gubbed. Check out prices of a new one c/w installation costs from at least three local plumbers before you involve British Gas who, in my experience, somehow manage to quote more to service and repair a boiler than a new one would cost.

Thanks Growler. Have done as advised prior to leaving house

Ok I have turned the gas back on this morning just to double check that it wasn't me being over sensitive last night and it wasn't that the gas smell wasn't simply left over from the engineer attempting his 'temporary fix ' etc.
Oooh no ...within a minute the pleasant smell of gas was fairly strong in my kitchen.
Turned if straight back off again at the meter evil:
So now apart from no heating and hot water I can now no longer cook ( although some might consider that a blessing in disguise lol: ).
Guess I know what I'll be doing today Banghead Banghead Banghead

Homeserv - me and TMR know someone who works for them. Nice enough guy, but not qualified as far as I know.
Big name, but I wouldn't recommend them to anybody.
Not very helpful, I know.

Unless my memory is going, and I accept that at my age it is more than a possibility, did you not say (Miss D) that you had no current insurance in place to cover for emergencies as you had let it lapse weeks before the boiler breakdown? If this is so then tell Homeserve to take a hike and get someone else in. Homeserve are a large but apparently pretty inefficient company. Why continue to deal with them? They have no contract with you and have been engaged by you to perform a diagnosis and repair on your non functioning boiler. They have been unable to perform this task in a timely manner and have now left matters in such a state that you can detect a gas leakage.
Step one ~
Contact Emergency number at British Gas and report the leak. That will ensure your safety and get an expert opinion on the cause which will probably point the finger at Homeserve's tradesmen.
Step two~ Tell Homeserve that you have no wish to deal with them further but that you will be billing them for any costs incurred in correcting their mistakes.
Step three~ Employ another tradesman.
Step four ~ Sent bill to Homeserve

I used these guys when I had a new boiler and other bits fitted - very efficient, quick, tidy and polite. (Also, only a mile down the road from me)
http://www.glowarm.co.uk/index.asp
-
I had a new boiler installed 2 years ago. Oil fired as there is no mains gas supply to the village and I didn't want a garden full of Calor Gas bottles. Because of the age of the house and my disability status I secured a grant for the work from the Local Authority who appointed one of their "approved" contractors to carry out the work. The standard of workmanship was appalling but the company refused to accept their mistakes. An appeal to the Building Standards Inspectorate at County Hall did me no good at all. No-one would accept that I could smell fumes from the boiler and that the oil consumption was too high.
So I contacted the manufacturers of the boiler and asked them to inspect the installation. Their engineer found
(i) A major oil leak in the pipework connecting the storage tank to the boiler
(ii) That the boiler had been incorrectly "commissioned" and thus was burning at "Too Rich" a mixture thus using too much oil and causing fumes
(iii) That the oil tank had been incorrectly installed leaving the possibility of a "blow-back" from the boiler should the tank empty which would cause any vapour in the tank to explode.
The engineer kindly wrote his report on the spot and gave me a copy to take to the Building Standards Inspectorate. The boiler, connecting pipes and tank were replaced within 48 hours of my handing in the report.
Top Tip ~ Gather evidence and take it to the top.

Half an hour has now passed. Banghead
It's like dealing with the dead in 'ere sometimes. ::)

I have contacted Gas Board but tbh there is not much more they can do. They are satisfied I have turned the gas supply off correctly ::) although did offer to come and check if I had concerns ...said that would not be necessary.
They would also likely be likely to condemn the boiler but as it is not working and we know it is faulty all seems a bit pointless.
Contacted Homeserve .....who said would contact engineer . He rang back about half an hour ago ....informed me I should have rung about an hour ago as they had an engineer in the area then cussing: ....... patronising wankpiece then went on to suggest it may not be in connection with the actions of the other blokely yesterday.
Lost my temper redface: - explained will be reporting them for incompetence etc ....
Monday afternoon is the earliest they can come round.
I have in the meantime written a formal letter of complaint and will be sending off to the relevant people. In the meantime I will look around for someone else.
However I am so sick and tired and fucking fed up of this situation and everything else in my world being a complete kak of steaming shite at the moment that I am going to go to sleep for the rest of the afternoon

I have just rung them to chase.
"Did you specify a morning appointment madam " the call centre blokey asks ....
"Oh yes, as I have meetings this afternoon that I have to attend and I was very clear with the engineer on Monday that this was the case " I reply getting that sinking feeling in my tum tum.
So off he goes to chase engineer and says will call back shortly.
" Sorry Madam, you are on the all day planner schedule with no preference stated , are you sure you made it clear to the engineer on Monday "
" How clear do you want me to have stated it ....I said I could only do Thursday morning , what could be confusing about that ?"
"O.k madam let me call them back and I will ring you back "
5 mins later ......
" Leon will be on his way after he has finished the job that he is on , he has rearranged his schedule for you"
Forgive me for not being ffffing grateful Banghead Banghead Banghead Banghead Banghead

"Leon" doesn't sound wholly English to me rubschin:
I predict much teeth sucking and a very slow appraisal of the task before he pronounces it "eemposseebell".

He could be a lean fit bloke with a nice bum. She could hold him hostage

Lo and behold our boiler started misbehaving too.
Central Heating fine but intermittent hot water - usually when I was in the shower covered in shampoo (stuff for hair, BM) and soap.
Phoned Gary the Tank on Thursday, he popped round and diagnosed a faulty relay on the PCB. Not good - a new PCB is about £140.
He phoned me early Friday to say that he found another (not working) PCB and that he'd come round to take out the duff relay and relpace it with the relay fro the one he found.
Took him half an hour last night. All sorted. Perfick.
Total cost ? Three pints - he wouldn't take any money.
Top geezer.

He's called The Tank due to his drinking prowess - yesterday was another legendary day where he must have consumed about 15 pints and an unknown number of Sambukas / Monkey's Brains.
I shall probably meet him at noon for a "social drink" noooo:
