    Ideal standard classic boiler not working

    It seems to be firing up for a while then off again, I was away this week so the missus was in control of the Hive which she had set wrong, I have corrected that now, will it take a while to fill the tank again.

    How does my boiler work please

    Evening, We have an old Ideal standard FF with a large water tank upstairs. I can’t put the heating on without the hot water being on so I was thinking.
