Problem with boiler/actuator

Hello,
Could someone kindly give an opinion on the attached pictures. Today i had a heat valve and the actuator replaced by a local engineer, he only partially drained the system because he was able to restrict the flow of water by using the conex valves. There was a problem with the wiring which was fixed by another good natured engineer later in the day and all seemed well. Heating and water working as expected. But I find now that when the radiators are warm the boiler now cycles about every 2 minutes, then off for about a minute and back on again. The place heats up eventually but the boiler seems to be working overtime. does this seem right? Also two of the 3 valves are open, the one thats closed is the one between gray boxes. Does that seem correct??

Many thanks for any insight.

Wouldn't be surprised if one of the gate valves has snapped inside and not opened properly.
