Hi, I have just moved into a house that has a Worcester oil fired boiler, when powered up it burns constantly even when the heat setting is off and no hot water running, is this normal ?? Don’t know how old it is and waiting documents to be returned from the Soliciters to see what service history it has

Could well be a motorised valve but there are other possibilities.
Looking at the grubby state of the boiler I would be looking for a competent oil service engineer.
Get it serviced and find problem at same time,

Yeh I agree it needs a clean up, the house has just had a refurb and the boiler got the thick of it I think 🤣 thanks for that 👍
