I've had a new oil boiler installed but not working correctly

In the old boiler there was four pipes connected, 2 flows and 2 returns, one flow and return used for upstairs heating and the other flow and return for 2 zones downstairs, and the plumber connected both flows together and returns together before entering the boiler. All motorised valves appear to be working correctly.

There were 2 pumps being used, I assume on the return lines?

When first turned the boiler went into over temperature so plumber fitted a third pump after where the 2 returns joined and before entering boiler.

The radiators are heating a lot better but some are just hot at the bottom, and some not heating at all.

Is there a need for the 3 pumps or is one suffice now there is only one return line entering the boiler or is there anything else suggested?

Thanks in advance..
 
probably need to clean the system, refill it getting all the air out and then balance it properly and unless you live in a mansion of 20 rooms plus one pump should suffice, they are probably fighting each other!
