Evening people,
Our prehistoric boiler has ground to a halt. The Pilot light is lit, but it's not doing a great deal, the unit itself is stone cold, and needless to say there's no heating or hot water. It seems to be making a ticking noise from the control panel.
I've booked an engineer to come out (hopefully he's a decent one, I've done some research but have never had to book my own one having rented houses previously).
Has any of you lot any idea what the problem could be, just so I sound slightly knowledgeable when he turns up.
Thank you.

, and everyone we know either rents or has brand new houses with service cover on brand new boilers, so a recommendation is proving hard to come by. Thus I'm in the stage of trying to find an engineer I can trust. While I appreciate the vast majority of engineers out there are good guys, I don't know enough about the inner workings of a boiler to smell bullpoo if I'm told "the retracting floogalbinder has corrosion on the inner teflon coated return valve"
