Out hot water and central heating has just broken down. I think the boiler is gone, although it could be the Boilermate 2000. But, leaning towards the boiler as there is no flame in it now.

Who do I call to come and have a look at it and sort it out ASAP ?

Are there specialists in central heating ?

I'd call my plumber. That said, not sure he'd appreciate a 10pm call.

Hopefully, one of the PH plumbers will be here shortly to give you a quick fix solution! smile

Stick your postcode in the "Find a Gas Safe certified business in your area" on here:-

Or even just look in your local paper / Yellow Pages

They will all be busy in this weather though

There are plumbers on call 24 hours a day. You'll pay a heck of a premium for it though, best leave till normal working hours if you can.

Thanks for the replies.

Somehow, everything has started working again while we were sleeping.

I guess, we need to get it checked over and maybe serviced.

Is it a condensing boiler?

I called Ghostbusters for mine, but I can't recommend them because since they were on film they've changed the car for a tatty old ford cortina and Venkman has a bad attitude that results in your boiler becoming a charred mess devoid of function. Ghost free now though.

Their number probably doesn't work any more.
