There is definately a spark, I've pushed the 2 controls in loads of
times to get it, I've tried turning the large gas controller knob
around down the bottom to get gas in - could there be another knob I
need to twist around in the house?

On some gas valves you have to turn the knob back to the off position before
turning it on and pushing it in to allow gas to the pilot. I take it you're
not getting the pilot lighting at all, even just while you are holding the
gas valve knob down? Do you still have gas to other appliances (cooker etc)
in the house? If so it sounds as if the gas valve is faulty, which requires
competence in gas fitting to replace.
