Heating thermostat control (with recommendation)

I am having problems with my central heating thermostat. My boiler works fine and I have hot water. I just can't get the heating to switch on because I think the main connection is broken. Does anyone know who replaces them and how much they cost to replace? I would appreciate some recommendations. Even though it's almost May I need the heating at the moment!

If it's simply a matter of replacing the unit any handyman should be able to do it. If it turns out to be something else, you may need a more skilled person to do a bit of diagnosis. Personally, I'd get in touch with a heating engineer.

I had a similar problem once which was down to a faulty zone valve.  You'll need a proper engineer to diagnose the problem correctly, as Hugh said. Lisa of Milo Heating was my saviour in this case 07811444564.

Thanks for telling me about Lisa. She came out and managed to put the box back on the wall properly so it's now working again! And she didn't charge me a penny. She was great. I would have no hesitation using her again. Good to find someone like her who's professional and not out to fleece customers

Mine stopped working properly and I upgraded to a Nest thermostat. No regrets - I love it. With today's cold snap I was able to turn my heating on before coming home.

Don't know if yours is the same as mine but ours got bunged up with dust recently after we'd had a lot of work done. It wouldn't work so I prised off the front cover, gave everything a good blow and it worked fine!

It was all fine until the batteries were taken out and replaced. After that the cover just can't seem to be put on properly so that it all clicks back into place. It is fairly old

Ours breaks every few months. They don't make them like they used to. Only option seems to be keep replacing it and returning to store.
