scoop Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Atha & Son up at Norton. Have used them for years. I also recomend Atha, he is a genuinely nice man, he serviced our boiler last year and I also have the pleasure of chatting to hi while out on dog walks occasionally.

Twiglet Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 Mine does it too. Without fail, about 5 minutes after I have got into the shower, when hair has just had conditioner put in. Cue a very soggy, cold and grumpy Twiglet stomping down the stairs to light it again (after figuring out what it was) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kopman9 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 :help: :help: :help: :help: I have a boiler that's very, very temperamental. The pilot light keeps going out. I have 2 friends that are gas plumbers (Corgi registered of course), and they can't fix it. They both put new thermo-cuple's in, but it worked for a day, then went out...worked for a week and a half, then went out.... worked all way through summer (just the pilot light, not the heating. I'm not that daft) now that it's turning cooler....yep, you guessed it, it's gone out again. Thing is, it still used to start up again when I lit it, but the pilot light won't stay on at all. I paid my friends a total of £150 for their work. The problem never got sorted, but I had to pay for the parts, and their services. I just wondered if anyone knew of a company that would replace and maintain for a monthly price... or something similar. Will you post the names of these gas plumbers so I know not to call them if my boilers packs in !!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know you're asking for 5Star's but I'm now having exactly the same problem. It is now repeatedly going out and quite often is impossible to re-light. Mine is a Glow Worm.

Guest Pauly Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 What model of Glow Worm is it? I fixed my mum's Glow Worm Ultimate by cleaning the pilot injector as it was full of muck that didn't allow enough gas through for the pilot to light and the boiler to fire up. It's a possibility. Did your gas mates clean or check the injectors when they changed the thermocouple? Saying that it could also be that you need a new gas valve and the connection to the thermocouple is on it's last legs. What make/model is the OP's boiler?
