If all is as you describe it, you are entitled to get somebody else in to "make good" the work and charge the cost to the original fitter. They will dispute this and you will need to be prepared to go to court to assert your rights.

In the interim:

1. Join the Consumers Association (who may be prepared to take your case up for you).
2. Send the original supplier a letter telling them you will getting someone else in at their expense unless they can sort it within 7 days.

Trading Standards?

Fit for purpose etc.

If they can't get the electrics right, goodness knows what the gas fitting is like...

That really does sound like a stupid wiring error - probably instead of putting the thermostat in series with the boiler circuit they've connected it across the supply. Any half-decent fitter should get that sorted in 5 minutes flat.
