The installer needed a mains supply for the boiler, a ring main ran across
the kitchen ceiling (bungalow) to a socket down by the boiler which ran a
spur through the wall into the conservatory. CH was fitted (pretty good job
actually), they left, no power to socket or conservatory. What must've
happened - they cut the ring, went to connect a junction box and found the
cables weren't long enough, so, they also cut the other half of the ring and
joined both and the boiler feed in the junction box. 3 more junction boxes
later and I have power back !"£$%^&'s

If it was a new CH install (rather than a boiler upgrade only) it should
have been Part Peed with associated documentation presented on completion to
prove competence of lecky etc.
