Why does my pilot light keep going out?

[simondyntDBeK]

Boiler has been fine for six-ish years since I've lived here but I've woken up in the morning to the pilot light being out 5 or 6 times in the last fortnight. It re-lights easy enough but guessing something is wrong.

Any ideas?

Thanks!

Just give us the make and model of your boiler.

Thanks 45yearsagasman - it's a 15ish year old Glowworm Economy Plus 50B (EP50B).

Could be a number of gas related faults, all of which require a competent repairman to fix. Simple boiler, and relatively cheap to repair.
Sorry to not be more specific, but diy gas advice is not allowed on this site.

No probs. Thanks for the info - will get someone in.

Cheers.
