You will have to get a Qualified Gas Safe Engineer to do it,assuming you are using Gas.

Not sure whether Everhelpful's username is tongue-in-cheek, given that this is an electrical problem. No you don't need a Gas Safe Technician.
The simple answer is you disconnect it both ends to isolate the cable and check for continuity initially. If this is mains voltage we are talking about, it ought to be flash tested to see if the insulation breaks down.
