Obviously you want to be very careful with electrical stuff, tent fire happen no one wants that.
IM not an electrician and I’m in Canada with different electrical systems not the UK, but it certainly sounds like you’re drawing too much power from one circuit. Best to have someone knowledgeable look at it , yes an electrician would be best.
I expect you will have to find or install another circuit to supplie power to your tent equipment. LIghts, heaters, Dehumidifiers, a/c units all pull a lot of power.
I had and electrician run a new circuit from my electrical panel dedicated to just my grow light, this left me enough power to run everything else on the one circuit near my tent

Look to see if there is a way to shed some load from the branch circuit you are using. Is there anything that is on the circuit that can be moved? If there is something like a frig in the next room that will be using up the available power. Often circuits can be in strange patterns in the house. If the circuits are not labeled or not correct, you will have to identify all the power use on that branch. Turn everything on except the heater, turn off the circuit for the grow, then look for other items that have also turned off. Then move those items to a different circuit.

somehow "sparky" the electrician doesn't inspire confidence, kinda like a plumber named "leaky"
