Faulty pilot burner?

I have a johnson & starley j25 warm air heating system but am having problems with the pilot burner. It lights, fires up, expels warm air for about 30 mins then cuts out, and i have to keep relighting the pilot burner. I need 2 things.......a good local service engineer in Birmingham, and an online user manual, as when i bought this house there wasn`t any paperwork for the heating, at least no user guide. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Chances are its the thermocoupling that needs changing.The Johnson and Starley range are very easy to work on,10 minute job to fit one.
