Our domestic voltage varies between 240-250v, but usually hovers

Thats getting close, start logging the voltage as recorded by your
UPS, say at 5min intervals. Collect a week or so, hopefully with the
brownouts and cuts as well, remember as well as a max there is min
(230 -6% or 216v)... Plot them out as a graph with suitable scales to
show the problems.

Then make a complaint, when the board come round to measure or perhaps
to fit one of their logging meters show them the UPS log plots. It's a
bit odd that the failures are in the wee small hours.
