Luckily I am covered under the British Gas HomeCare scheme - but I reported a potential problem with my boiler during the time when I booked my annual boiler servicing.

It turns out this was a right approach, as the boiler kept "locking out" and as such wouldn't allow me to have any Hot Water or Central Heating!  Brrr!

Anyway, after the first inspection on Friday, I reported the boiler failure on Saturday, with a further call-out on Sunday morning.  A few parts had to be ordered - which meant another visit on Monday afternoon.  This seemed to have done the trick.  BUT, the boiler once again "locked-out" this morning, so another call-out has been arranged this afternoon.  Visit number 4 and counting.

I really hope they solve the problem once and for all - cos it is FREEZING!
