Yes - just what I thought too - I have something vaguely similar at my house.

It simply means that the room thermostat (in the hall?) is not hard wired.

Yes. There will be a wireless remote roomstat somewhere.
The red light on the receiver indicates it has lost communication with it. Either the batteries in the stat are flat or there is a fault.
You can override it by pressing the button on the receiver, and a green light should come on. Obviously you also need to have the heating calling from the timer beside it to test the heating.

Thanks everyone, yes we have a wireless thermostat in another room with flat batteries!

New batteries in, and the red light is off...

Happy days.

Reminds me of a holiday rental we once used, arrived to a cold house in the middle of October, biblical rain to the point it was coming in through the boiler flue and earlier in the day the agent had being taking people to their cottages in a 4x4 as roads where impassable.

Couldn't get the heating on. Turned out on the following morning that the wireless thermometer had been screwed to the less visible side of bottom 4inches of the newel post on the first floor landing ceiling!
