The main concern would be that the cable and fuse in the plug are compatible with the current draw. With 3amp being sufficient you should be fine as a temporary measure. I would be tempted to put a plug on the boiler supply cable and plug it into a normal extension lead.
Of course there may be other reasons you shouldn't do that that I can't see from your drawing.

Bordering on bodge territory here, but not looking likely that I'll have a electrician turn up in time for power to be run out to boiler.
Can I wire a socket, and a fused spur to a plug?
*Not as a permament solution, but I've a RCB protected socket for site power.
