The flame is blue, but it definately doesn't touch the tip of the
pole, in most fires I've seen the pole bends at an angle to meet the
flame, but this one is simply straight verticle and nowhere near the
flame (about 10/15mm away).

I'll get it serviced for sure, and I'll check the flue with a smoke
match.

Possible causes a
Damage to the oxy pilot assembly - however the should be vertical.
Partially blocked pilot injector.
In adequate inlet working gas pressure - should be at least 18.5 mBar.
