My water pump on my central heating is on constantly as if it has a permanent live or getting wrong message from thermostat or control panel. Any ideas how to rectify ?

We own a house that is estimated to have been built between 1930-1949. We currently have been doing some work to prep for re-plastering and have noticed that what looks like the dampproof course is brittle and snaps easily in some places. We have no signs of damp in the walls of the house but given the age, I'm wondering what is the best way to confirm if it's still effective and, if it isn't, what would be the best/least intrusive way of replacing/resolving it.

Looking for best water based gloss to use on previously gloss painted woodwork, don't know what type of gloss was used before. What preparation needed too, just rub down & paint or undercoat first. Many thanks
