hello i am looking for urgent advice. My heating is not working, we have tried to relight the boiler which is a glow worm hide away 60b using a variety and i think dangerous methods but with no joy. Husband thinks it is the thermo coupling ? and has purchased one at lunchtime today with the intention of fitting it tonight on return from work (does the electric need to be off?) I have also attempted to prepare the kids tea and as i have tried to light the built in hob it will not ignite and furthermore i cant hear any gas either. Is it possible that the bolier and the hob are linked in some way ? or is something completely wrong with the boiler and the hob. The multi point wall heater is ok and working fine.
i contacted british gas who advised me to contact transco because the symptoms i had given sounded like the gas supply to the house was affected.
Transco came straight away. After further investigation it would appear that the water boiler (multipoint) that is positioned in a cupboard above the heating boiler (Glow worm hideaway 60b) has been leaking water into it and this has also gone into the gas hob.
When the transco operative opened a pipe attached to the Glow worm lots of water came spraying out of it. There is also water dripping from the multi point, something which i have never noticed cos its in a cupboard and i never go in it.
The Transco operative has blocked the gas meter and all appliances for safety reasons, he has also advised that the repair man who is coming tommorow needs to get the water out of the central heating boiler and the gas hob, and also try and repair the multi point so that it leaks no longer.
I know i sound like a dimwit, but has anybody got any idea of the likely cost related to such work. If any body can help i would be really gratefull, thank you very much.
