do most boilers operate from 240v being fed from the programmer or should most boilers have there own 240v source and the programmer simply act as a signal to run?

I tend to take a 3 core flex (from a fused spur) straight into the boiler.
Then take a 4 or 5 core flex out the boiler to the wiring centre/ timer (on a combi).
Don't think theres a right way and wrong way though.

i have no power to my boiler until the valve actuator microswitches send it there. Is this a normal way to power up and run the boiler? There is no other live at the boiler.
No boiler should be fed from the programmer.
Would be quite interested to know which boilers should be fed from a timer; I have never seen M.I. that said so.

It was also quite common to pipe a 20 - 30 kw boiler up with 15 mm from the split, doesn't make it good.It was quite common to switch the boiler from the programmer, in the olden days.
Spur to boiler and timer, timer out to sl boiler.
