The pilot light went out yesterday and as soon as I re-light it and then turn on the boiler the pilot goes out. This happens for both the heating and the hot water. Help would be appreciated.

Thanks

Joffa.

Not a diy job I'm afraid.

Could be thermocoupler or gas valve which will need a heating engineer to look at

Could it be anything to do with the DHW valve that was cleaned recently.

Its probably the pilot coming off the thermocouple when main flame fires up, usually due to a poor or partially blocked pilot , either way its a CORGI engineers job to repair. Thermocouple cools as pilot comes off it and shuts down the gas valve.

Good luck....
