Loud bang - heating problem?

Hoping someone can try and help.
Yesterday morning we were awoken to an extremely loud bang. It happened round about the same time the heating comes on, or had just come on but at the time I put it down to a wood pigeon flying into the window as we have a bird table not far from the kitchen window and it happens sometimes.
Anyway this morning, our heating didn’t come on when it’s supposed to. We checked the boiler (which is still working fine for hot water) and the water pressure had dropped but apparently it does this over time? The thermostat was showing it was on but the rads were barely hot – certainly not as hot as they had been.
I left for work and my partner told me he switched it to manual and it all fired up properly and the rads were hot. He said the time had went majorly out of sync.
I’m just concerned on what the loud bang was and it’s a bit of a coincidence the heating hasn’t worked properly the next day. We have just had wood flooring laid and I don’t even want to think about the possibility of taking it up to look at the pipes. Up until this we’d lived with floorboards for 5 months!

There's nothing in your post to suggest the bang was to do with the heating.
Sounds like your timer was wrong and the bang was something else.0 -
