    Power getting to the burner ? Check fuses .

    Is it starting with the reset button on the front of the burner ?

    You boiler will have a fuse on the fuseboard.

    Make sure it hasn't tripped .

    The starter burner mounted on the front of the boiler will have a big reset button on the front of it.

    Press it in. You should hear the burner kick in

    Well you could actually just check the fuse is tripped on the board.

    And you could just press the reset button on the front of the machine.

    These are not rocket science......

    You could do either in about 3 minutes tops.

    Alas...
