What burner ?

Has it got power? Has a fuse blown or anything? Check before calling out a plumber and lookin silly and having to hand over a call out charge fee....

is your temp up fairly high on the stat ?? if it is sometimes the stat will trip ..... if u look at the stat there will be a button like thing on it , u can twist some by hand and others with a flat head screwdriver , remove this and then press the little button inside !!
then after u may need to press the reset button on the front of your burner

1. is there fuel in the tank...... you'd be surprised.
2. make sure all fuel taps and valves are open
3. is it switched on at the main on/off. is the programmer set to on.
4. if its a riello, there should be a red button on the front of the burner. push it. does it make a noise/attempt to start for 5-10 seconds.
no - no power going to it, check fuses and programmer functioning and connections.
yes - fuel supply issue. check fuel filters clean. bleed fuel lines until free of air and try to run
5. still no joy, you might have a fault. call a man.

If you have a room stat check it, the high ambient temp. may be preventing your boiler from firing.
