The boiler shouldn't sound like this, should it ...

[zzx]

Hi,

Since this morning each time it starts up the boiler seems to have taken to making a screeching howl sound.

It also made a crazy knocking noise like someone was kicking in the back door ... which it stopped when I killed the power.

It's under a service contract, but as it's freezing I guess my question is 'is it safe to use until they come to look' - also suggestions as the problem would be appreciated.

I took a video which might help:

Thanks for any advice

We do NOT give advice on the repair of boilers or clues as to what the fault might be.

These are not suitable for diy repair. They will kill you given half a chance.
