Pilot Light keeps extinguishing?

Recently moved into a new house and we have a Potterton combi boiler (not sure on age but I would say fairly new). Since we have moved in the Pilot light has been extinguishing usually when the heating kicks in but now it is going out as soon as you turn on the hot water. Any suggestions please?

it still sounds like either a short pilot or a seal problem

Yeah it lights fine. When the heating or hot water is turned on it kicks in then blows out shortly after.

does it light ok when you try, if so it could be either a blocked pilot injector, a dirty top socket(the bit the pilot flame comes out of), of the case not sealing correctly, also check the flue has not got any plants blocking it.
