Have recently moved into a flat with underfloor heating. Heating runs on economy 7. and switching is controlled by synchronous timer. Problem is that the timer has stopped working and only did so after plumber had switched off consumer unit when doing a job on the immersion heater. Have checked the fuse to the timer and is OK. Any suggestions? Is there a reset button anywhere? Timer was installed in the early 80's and has been working fine until now.

Only one suggestion and it's a long shot. Some synchronous motors can be difficult to get started. They may even start in the wrong direction. some have a mechanical device to 'catch' the rotor and throw it back the other way.
I assume you've checked that power is reaching the timer. If it is then try switching the thing on and off. If this doesn't work then you'll need a new timer - or a new motor if you're into electromechanical microsurgery.
