Hi All. Need some advice

[Wilko]

Before isolating supply I now turn the boiler programmer off, wait for the boiler to go through it's cool down cycle and be silent, then push boiler on/off button, then the FCU then the main isolator. If it still dies can they please just shoot me?

Makes me laugh that we're to make people pay for surge protection to protect attached equipment from some "it might happen" surge event, but it's ok that these things can't even be turned off and on ???Something very very wrong here from a consumer perspective.

Never take responsibility for failure of a boiler or anything else that fails just because power is interrupted. That boiler will be CE marked and if it can't survive a power interruption it's either faulty or non-compliant for CE.

If the owner of the boiler thinks it failed because the power went off briefly they should be talking to the boiler manufacturer and not the person cleaning their oven.

Boilers are nothing! I did the same to a control panel that operated 6 fume cupboards at the Chemistry Department! The panel was around 30 years old, and apparently would cost thousands to repair, luckily they had some spares! Again I only switched it off to try and identify unknown circuits in the DB.
This was planned maintenance and all equipment had (allegedly) been shut down so we could turn on/off what we needed.
No equipment should fail just because the power is lost then restored within a few seconds!
