No, apart from the two minutes I mentioned before. I have a shower first, use the water up. Niall has a shower next, no hot water. Then we have two minutes hot water to run the washing up in the evening and both of us shower at the gym then.

Do you get hot water whilst the heating is on?

Hi guys+girls!
Niall and I are having problems with our boiler and we are only getting hot water when running the tap for washing up or having a shower, for about 2minutes maximum and this is without adding any cold water to it. It is a combi boiler and I am aware temperatures may often fluctuate but this is NOT the case- the hot water only lasts for 2minutes and doesn't return.

When the hot water goes cold the lights etc on the boiler are still all working as per normal, nothing needs resetting on it.

About 6 weeks ago we had the bolier flushed as we had no hot water whatsoever and it has been fine until about 10days ago.

The pressure on the boiler is fine (between 1.0 and 1.5 as it should be).

Water pressure seems ok to but possibly a little bit slower.

It's a worcester combi boiler and is 5 years old (we bought the house 18months ago)

I think that's everything! Does anyone have any ideas as to what it could be before the plumber finally comes out again next week??

Any help/advice would be good incase it's something we could actually look at or do before next week to try and get hot water. I'm fed up of going to the gym to use the shower! :lol:
