You could do the test yourself, but seeing as you don't even know what equipment to use (it's a manometer by the way), I seriously recommend you seek professional help.
The fact that the ignition is sparking suggests to me that the boiler has already got to the stage where it's trying to fire up but there's no gas there to ignite. This is only natural assumption and there could be many other reasons why it's not working.
I'm sure this doesn't apply to you, but I once looked at a boiler with the same problem and it turned out to be the meter needed another 50p in the slot. In all fairness the tenant had only lived there for a few weeks, but you get the picture
