room thermostat OK, also did a test with a multimeter. At the point when boiler switches off, the thermostat is still in closed position. Boiler thermostat(s) OK too as no issues heating the hot water tank all day long. Sludge in central heating pipework? but then why are all the radiators...

Thank you for your reply and taking the time. The motorised valve for the central heating does indeed come on, and fires up the boiler - only that after few minutes boiler shuts down and the valve goes to closed position again, and after another 5 minutes, comes ON for another 5 minutes....
