The heating in my house failed today.
:( It is rather cold.

The boiler appears to be working, OFCH, as when it is swictehd on and off all the usual noises are being made, but the radiators are not warning.
We have loads of oil, and I can't find any evidence of a frozen pipe from the tank to the boiler or around the boiler.

Most perplexing and quite freezing :(

Any helpful suggestions?
 
Unsure when my wife realsied no heat was coming to the radiators she turned the thing off, didn't want overheating or things going on fire. I had not thought of pump, thats a good shout, thanks.

An engineer is due to call later today, as soon as he can make it to me.
 
Just checked the system properly, seems the pump is working, and the system wasn't firing, pressed the reset started to fire and a shedload of black smoke started flowing from all over the show, quickly swicthed it off, figure something was tripped in it when it came on this early am, and might be best to await the engineer to get it checked up.
 
weee heating restored
thank goodness, chap just left
jet was clogged, but main issue was frozen pipe between tank and boiler, he reckons there must have been some water introduced at some point that froze within the pipe, as althought it has been very cold, it shouldn't have been cold enough for the oil to freeze directly, everything is flowing again, so I am happy, and slowly thawing myself.
