Cable missing in central heating wiring

You could do away with the timer and install a hive reciever in the area where the zone valves are. A 2 channel hive (or similar) would work and leave you an extra core if needed as the hive only needs a 230V supply You would still be able to connect things to this such as remote thermostats etc.

This is something the NICIEC could deal with If circuits are not safe then they should not have been connected. This is a safety issue and the NICEIC can deal with it
