Water runs hot then cold- plumber or boilerman needed?

Hi, has anyone had this problem that when you run the hot tap it runs hot for a while, then goes cold for a couople of minutes, then hot for a couple of minutes, then cold again and so on and on. It's murder in the shower. I don't know if this is something to call a boiler person in for or a plumber- did anyone have the same problem fixed and can advise? (& a rec. for the person who fixed it is most welcome!)
I know I need to get a professional round I'm just not sure which kind to get! I don't want to get a plumber round and have him tell me it's a boiler problem or vice versa because I will end up paying twice, that is my dilemma, hence hoping someone who's had the same problem will know...
I have not had time to get the person round yet, but I will post as soon as I have and have a definitive answer, but so far the general consensus (including pm's) seems to be that this is a boiler problem rather than plumbing. Hope that helps!
I have recently had this problem. The heat exchanger (the main part) of my combi boiler has gone, so that needs replacing, which is fairly expensive, or replacing the whole boiler seems the more cost effective option for the long run. Hopefully you are a bit luckier than me and may just need something a bit simpler replaced. Happy Saturday

    • There will always be kids pushing the envelope as the saying goes, but having some boundaries should help most understand what they can and cannot do. I think dedicated, daily park wardens is exactly what is required...with a hotline to SNT teams on the beat. Is there no way money made from Gala or from Park parking fees can be diverted to provide that funding? I feel it would be a really good use of money. The principle aim being to maintain the park as a safe and relaxing environment for all. If funding really cannot be found I wonder if there might be funding to at least train volunteer park wardens?
    • Its almost the same as Grove Vale School , now Goose Green School.
    • They used to have dedicated park wardens, who I'm sure used to look after the parks and locked and opened the gates. Years ago I knew someone who was one. I thought they were based in that hut by the toilets. Are they not there any more? The community wardens are attached to the police rather than a specific park, aren't they?
    • Yes, sad how Rye Lane has taken a dive, interesting to see those pics CPR Dave. It's shocking how the section between Choumert Road and the Nag's Head in particular has lost its vibrancy, meanwhile the next section to the top of Peckham Rye Common has gentrified. Wonder why such a distinction in fortunes? Anyway the station square plans have fallen behind yet again, demolition won't now start this summer. The only "work" that will now take place this summer is surveying of the arcade, which they've had 10 years since planning permission to do. At least the replacement TSB branch has progressed but the Blenheim Grove corner building still looks unfinished, despite claims it "is now complete". https://www.southwark.gov.uk/planning-environment-and-building-control/current-and-future-development/peckham-and-nunhead-2
