Is is normal for a combi boiler to ignite every few seconds? We have a prepayment meter and I know that's more expensive but the central heating seems to be costing a lot of money. Just checking to see if the boiler is faulty or if that's normal?

It's a Ferroli Falcon. I assume rads is radiators? If so, 4. It ignites mostly about every 3 seconds. It sometimes goes about 15-30 seconds, rarely longer.

If all the radiators have thermostatic valves they could be turned low while the room thermostat (the electronic control box on the wall) is set too high.
Try turning the radiator that's nearest the room thermostat fully on (usually anticlockwise) and adjust the room thermostat for a lower temperature.
