Checks so far:
Gas supply ok - cooker works, but is the boiler burner on?
Flue clear
Water Pressure oK 1.5 bar - as per your red marker
Radiators bled (should not stop boiler working)
Re set button pressed on top of boiler? - This only pops up if the boiler overheats, it's a safety cut out.
Exhausted most diy lines of enquiry so now left to the mercy of the engineers!

Hope they come soon...

We are going to be in trouble soon - this thread has a point!

The lack of pressure is probably the answer then - at least 2bar

Have you tried the re-set button. On top Left hand side of boiler?

The Boiler is a Worcester 28i RSF -

Strangely enough it did this earlier this year [ the early cold snap ] and the guy that came out from my plumbers could not find the reason for it , but switching things off and on and just generally fiddling and it kicked into action again.

It was serviced in September and Davy told me off when I said I wanted the radiators bled as I felt there was air in the system - he said it wasn't possible and they should not need bleeding - but my bedroom one did

I know our weather here is severe - but I wish they would get back to me .
On the top of the boiler there should be a small button that is the overheat cut out. The pump will still run etc but the burner will not light? Could give that a push to see if it needs re-setting

Some good photo ops up at the Botanical Gardens!
How about some rainbows through the fountain on Lake BG?

If you can get to them, are the pipes in and out of the boiler warm (Flow and Return)? They should be. What about your hot water? is that via the boiler too?
If you have hot water the boiler should be ok. There should be a pump somewhere to hand - again depending on system, usually near the hot water cylinder. When you turn the thermostat up for the heating the pump should kick in. If not could be the fault lies there (Give it a tap - it could have jammed, but doubt it.)
Sorry more confusion probably as a result of this - but maybe a starter for 10?

Nice to see the reserve has recovered after the fires back in the 90's
