Thank you so much so I'm guessing once I turn off the isolated switch near the boiler the wires after will be dead? Thanks

You can’t or shouldn’t guess that they’ll be dead, correct procedure is to test for dead using suitable equipment, such as a 2 pole voltage indicator. It does look like the fused connection unit daisy chains across the receiver into the boiler.

Conductors look heavy! Should be 0.75mm flex
