has it been like this since installation?
boiler on ch+hw
connections in boiler should be live neutral earth, term1 on boiler should be wired to common 1, on time switch and number 3 on time switch should be wired back to terminal 2 on boiler (via room stat if fitted).
if you only have boiler, timeswitch and maybe roomstat, turn power off and remove wiring from term 1+2 on boiler to find out if its the timeswitch wired wrong or at fault
