I am going away for a few weeks in the summer and usually, if I'm going to be away for any length of time, I turn off all the water, gas and electricity at the mains. Is it OK to do this if I have had a condensing boiler fitted or should I leave everything left on?

You can turn everything off if you feel happier, although most new boilers like to have the gas and electric left on so the can fire and/or spin the pump if it is a combi or system boiler once every 24hrs ;)

Thank you, Dave!
 
From an eletrical point of veiw are we to assume that you don't have a fridge/freezer full of food and an intruder alarm?

Yes. I'll be emptying and defrosting the fridge and freezer prior to leaving.
