Hi All,

We're in an absolute mess. Recently we've had a plumber come out to fix our heating and hot water. Both had stopped working.
The first time he came, he changed a pump. This fixed the hot water - but the heating wasn't working. About a month later, he installed two new valves (Drayton & Honeywell), which fixed the heating...
...However, he completely removed our thermostat, and now we have no control of the temperature.
He also unwired the thermostat's receiver. My other half has paid £370 for these visits, and we're very reluctant to call him back.

Since then, I have bought a hive 2 system, which I would like to install. However, I hadn't realised he had removed the old receiver and am unsure how to wire the new one in!

It's a dual channel receiver, and I have tried my best to draw the existing junction box wiring.
Please can you advise where to connect the:

N - Permanent Neutral
L - Permanent Live
1 - Hot Water Off (NC)
2 - Heating Off (NC)
3 - Hot Water On (NO)
4 - Heating On (NO)

I have assumed the Live is far right (10), and neutral the next in (9) and had originally thought Hot Water on was 3 and Heating on was 4... but this didn't seem to work! Do the NCs need wiring?

Please save us!!! Thanks

Heating from hive 4 (no) to 7 in your junction box and hot water to 5 in junction box to 3 (no) in the hive, live to live and neutral to neutral.
 
Thank you so much, I will give this a whirl tomorrow. Can I ask how you worked this out?
 
The hive is just a fancy switch, so when heating is called the hive puts 240 on the brown of the heating 2 port valve which brings the boiler and pump on;) call for hot water the hive puts 240 through the cylinder stat on to the brown of the hot water valve which brings the boiler and pump on.
