Back bolier not heating the radiators

In case anyone is interested I got a lad out to fix the issue, all that was wrong is the motor had sort of timed out as it hadn't been used in months. He just undid a screw underneath the boiler & stuck in a screwdriver which reset the motor. He said it happens often if people don't leave the switch on the wall turned on, we were switching it off every night before going to bed.
