The boiler man did the annual service this afternoon. At 5:30pm the hot water switched on and the whole system was much noisier than usual. The noise didn't seem to be coming from any one place. Also, the pilot light in the boiler was off and it took several attempts to ignite it. I've noticed that the lower of the two red taps in the picture is horizontal, i.e. off, but I can't remember if this is its normal position or not. Can anyone advise?

Turn it back on. The guy has probably just forgotten it.
Nothing serious then ?

Actually it shows that he probably cleaned the filter. Top man!!
Clean filter but no flow through it. And no flow through the boiler either. In effect the system was non functional. Lack of care and attention.
I've just realised the last post I made on DIYNot was last September after the previous boiler service, when the plumber left a nut above the boiler loose and water poured out when the time switch came on. It was the same plumber. Maybe I'm a bit too forgiving.
Make and model of this boiler ?
Maybe, but this last one is an easy mistake. Last chance methinks, but worth mentioning to him so he can buck his ideas up.
It's an Ideal Classic FF250, installed 2004.
