Boiler flame not lighting first thing in the morning

[nick8685]

Hi

I have a Worcester 24i rsf boiler with a mechanical timeswitch. I have it set for the heating to come on in the morning but the flame doesn't always light, to get it to light I switch it off at the mains then back on again this normally makes it light fist time. the heating will then come on fine for all the other settings throughout the day, it also works fine for hot water.
I would be greatful if anybody knows of a fix for this problem.

Thanks
