Definitely sounds sooted up.As Ian says these can be a nightmare to clean once they are sooted up as access to the heating body is limited.

unfortunately its quite common for the hot water burner to not be removed, sad i know but its a fact.

if they are licking out all the time heat exchanger could be blocked, if they are licking up on ignition then could be dirty pilot assembly burner area.

definately a wise move turning it off, get a engineer out, h/ex could be sooted due to too high a burner pressure etc

get it checked
