Hi there
Recently new boiler was installed by reputable company.
Old boiler was removed, new Boiler was relocated to loft, wired from Y junction box to another junction box away five metres from boiler. Inside junction box just six wires- three in and three out. Live, earth and neutral.
Then wires goes back five metres to boiler, where fused switch located.
Question: why on earth needs to be inserted another junction box in power supply way , and moreover- five meters away from boiler and then back?
Looks to me waste of cables and less reliable because more connections

Have you got a photo? It's not 100% clear from what you're saying.
 
Without seeing what was there before, what's there now, what was happening in between and what the person or persons who did the work were thinking , there's now way to even guess why.
 
Sorted this mess out. Removed excess wiring, removed excess chocolate box terminal connection, also changed connection from terminal junction box to wago connectors and wagobox.
