Check the obvious things first: is the thermostat set correctly, is the timer on, and has the boiler pressure dropped below 1 bar? If the pressure is low, you can repressurise it yourself using the filling loop — your boiler manual will show you how. If none of these fix the problem, call a Gas Safe registered boiler engineer in Appleby-in-Westmorland immediately and use electric heaters as a temporary measure.
