Have you isolated the heating system, Time to get the test equipment out and test the circuit ,,

I do sense a little bit of the yellow stuff been taken out of the incompetence of some 'Electricians' - If you hold this title and ask such a question then McDonalds are hiring!

PS - run an extension from upstairs ...voila boiler back on and you can walk away happy!

Thx, found a DP switch with "Heating" written on it, have switched it off and breaker now stays up - great but no heating.

Or put it in the main switch,,,LOL..

Test the heating circuit then , but be careful with the boiler and electronics , I would use 250V setting on the I/R tester,,

so, obviously there's a fault on the heating.
