It usually makes a buzzing sound for about 10-20min when i switch the boiler on and then finally goes quiet. Lately the noise is getting louder.

You may have air in the system. Bleed the rads. If that doesn't work bleed the pump itself. Undo the large silver screw on the pump body a bit to purge the air, be prepared for the water spill with a cloth. If you are not confident get help.

Could be the pump motor, or could be the impellor inside the housing the motor is mounted to. the bearings of the impellor or the impellor itself could be on it's way out.

get that British Gas boiler insurance... so when it goes they will pay for it!! I think its only £12 a month. Could be worth paying.
