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

    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
    • Moving into a new place and need both a wardrobe and a chest of drawers, ideally collection Friday. Thanks!
    • Lordship Lane has two dry cleaners, three pizza places and an Italian selling pizza, two burger places, three bakeries, two hardware (ish, I'm thinking AJ Farmer here), God knows how many coffee and charity shops, two Italians, three nail salons, five wine shops... Where was the abject outrage when Dynamic Vines opened up literally next door to Cave de Bruno? But I don't see his customers decamped next door - no, those stalwarts are still out in force every night.  In Roman times all businesses were clustered by product. It's what kept prices down. Same in any market you go to abroad, they're all selling the same things next to each other.  Why is everyone being so hard on this new place? It's called healthy competition - you can't curtail the expansion of your business on the basis you that might hurt someone else's.
