The display narrows it to a component. Confirming it on the boiler is what stops you buying the wrong part, and it takes minutes.
The outside plastic pipe freezes, the boiler cannot drain, and it stops. It is the cheapest fault here and the easiest to prevent for next year.
Black water in the radiators means the heat cannot move away from the boiler. It overheats and cuts out. A flush fixes the cause rather than the symptom.
Repeated resets can turn a cheap sensor fault into a damaged heat exchanger. If it goes twice, leave it and get it looked at.
The engineer reads the code, checks the gas pressure and flue, then tests the pump and flow. It takes most of an hour. You are told what was found before anything is replaced.
A photo of the display and a line on how long the boiler runs before it stops. Say if the outside pipe has frozen before. Mention cold radiators at the bottom.
A lockout is a boiler refusing to run because it saw something it did not like. It is not the boiler being awkward. It is not fixed by holding the reset button.
In Oldbury the usual suspects split by housing. Frozen or blocked condensate is common wherever the pipe run is outside. Poor circulation is common on the older terraces, where the original radiators have never been flushed.

Cold weather freezes condensate pipes and makes the boiler work harder for longer. That is when marginal pumps, sensors and sludged systems finally show up.
Often, yes. Condensate, sensors, thermostats and pressure faults are carried as stock. A pump or an exchanger usually means a part ordered and a second visit.
The cause of the lockout. A frozen pipe is cheap. A pump or a flush is more. The engineer names the cause first and then gives you the cost for that fix.
