Any pressure drop will be a separate issue.... if there is one.
With the gas, it sounds like the gas valve isn't letting it through, or maybe a faulty sensor shutting the supply off wrongly.

Nothing you can do lostboy, I'm afraid. Time to call in the cavalry.

Unfortunately I would agree with The Builder.

Possibly the thermocouple (call out charge + circa £25); control board (call out charge + circa £150); Gas valve (call out charge + call to your bank to arrange a loan).
