I stupidly forgot to close the pressure valve when I had to increase the pressure. When I looked three hours later water was pouring from inside the boiler. I immediately isolated everything. How do I fix it ?

Which “pressure valve”, exactly, did you leave open? Which boiler is it? More info may help to get a better reply. Has anything electrical got wet in this flood?

once the boiler pressure reaches 3 Bar a pressure releif valve opens up to protect the boiler, most likely this isnt connected properly or it is leaking, open a bleed point at a radiator and catch the water in a basin or a pot or something until the pressure drops to between 1 Bar and 1.5 Bar
