Why was this not discussed when the boiler was being installed?
What thermostat are you after?

Has it been completed eg commissioned then ?

It's building regs so doubt it was signed off

You need to be gas safe to wire in that thermostat so best get him back or another one in

Providing you don't break a combustion chamber seal you can remove the cover of a boiler, and from what I understand there aren't many boilers in the UK where you would need to break a combustion chamber seal for wiring purposes.

You unit is going to need a power supply (line, neutral and earth). Regarding the link in the boiler (that you've shown in another picture) connect 3 and 4 on the new device to the terminal block with the link in it (removing the link as you go) and you should be good to go.

I might be inclined to use some 5 core cable (custom made you might say for this as you can use brown, blue and yellow/green for the L, N and earth). You should sleeve the conductors you use to connect the link terminals with brown tape.

Thank you I appreciate that
 
Ahh.. ok, sorry confusion... thought the pic was from your boiler but clearly not. Need page 12 of the boiler manual by the looks of it.

Not just any radiator though, it should only be the radiator in the room where the thermostat for each zone is located which doesn't have a TRV.
