How much does it cost to have CH on for 1 hour?

Depends upon a myriad of things. Not least of which is are you talking about the first hour in a cold house, or an hour after the house has reached a specified temperature. Combi boiler or hot water tank.....etc.
Best thing to do is read your gas meter (including the decimal digits) at the start and end of each hour, avoiding anything else using gas during the time.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the In My Home MoneySaving, Energy and Techie Stuff boards.

Since we don't know what gas tariff you are on, how high you set your CH, how efficient your boiler is, or how good your insulation is, how can anyone answer that?No free lunch, and no free laptop0

I could make a rough guess, but it would involve so many assumptions it wouldn't be worth much.
If you want to keep track of spending you could set up a spreadsheet with the figures for how much gas costs, dates and put in meter readings. You'll get a feel for what your consumption habits really cost after a while and will know if you're spending too much before the quarterly bills arrive.0 -

3.5p x 28kW = £1 on full-blast.
