boiler blowing fuse on main fuse board

Options
I had my heating system power flushed a week ago and it ran fine for the first week. Now after about 10 seconds it trips the fuse on the main board. It does not happen if the pump is disconnected but the pump seems to turn manually. Should I change the pump or could it be something else?

    What you need to do is contract an Electrician to look at it and diagnose the fault for you, and then repair it.

    Wouldn't the heating stop if the pump wasn't operating? To be honest, I would probably change the pump, as they cost barely more than a call-out.
