POSSIBLY For the two pumps, two switched fcu's, a 20 a radial circuit direct from the cu wired in 2.5mm, from a 30ma rcbo would suffice. Or a 20a mcb if the cu already has a 30ma rcd fitted Same again for the boiler with one switched fcu, this MAY not require rcd protection Your PART P ELECTRICIAN W...

That is the method to wire two way, using single core cables usually within conduit.
