Its cold. Went out at luchtime to pick Katee up from the rail station. Got home and the heating was off.

Checked the combi boiler and its developed a fault, rang Brit Gas to come and fix it and the earliest they can manage is friday afternoon.

So we are sat here wrapped in fleeces and wondering what they would have done if we had a young family and a home with no heating.

No heat or hot water until friday, can't shower or wash or get warm. Suits our 20 yr old down to the ground as it does most male uni students

Did you actually tell them you have no heating or hot water?

If you report the breakdown before 1pm they promise to come out same day if you are without one or the other.

In the mean time you could always have a bonfire with all the junk mail that keeps getting shoved through the letter box

Mine went last week (Worcester Bosch Combi). Made a deep 'sub woofer' type noise and then packed in. Took a part off, rinsed it out and its cured. Thought I was in for a big bill.

Hope you get it sorted.

Flipping annoying, ours went a couple of weeks ago. Survival plan...Kettle boiled to have water to wash with, together with pans on stove. Lots of jumpers and hot water bottles! Bright side...cold germs hate the cold!

Yeah I had a similar issue the weekend before last only I still had hot water. Something to do with the pump being jammed.

Got it fixed then had a power cut the following weekend!

However, now I still have the extra duvet and the two spare blankets on my bed and I'm loving being toasty! I stole a little fan heater from work while the heating wasn't working to at least heat the bedroom. Now I can go to bed not wearing everything I own!

cheap oil filled radiators at Argos always good as a backup. fairly cheap to run too.

Not sure if your on their cover but they promise if you call pre 11 am i think they will come out the same day. Looks like more hot wind from a multinational

We borrowed a small electric fan heater from neighbours last night, not much but at least it has a semblance of warmth. Then had a bright spark, switch on double gas oven and sit in the kitchen once it warmed up enough

To the poster who talked of reporting it. Yep we told Brit gas we had no heating or hot water, its a combi boiler and does both. The answer was they were currently stretched to the limit and friday was the earliest.
