For those that may have same problem. Dhower thermostatic valve and and shutoff valves removed, descaled thouroughly cleaned and reinstalled. Not let by on both hot or cold, reduced hot water temp control to half from full and still hard to hold hand under piping hot water.. Happy bunny. :-)...

Problem found, decided to try and clean HEX, so isolated boiler to drain down, strange enough hot water would not stop running even with isolator shut.. so went round all shower,bath, sink etc and finally found that shower in main bathroom is faulty and letting cold by. shut. new question to you...

Flame stays constant throughout. Does cut in and out when tap is turned down to lower flow and led sits at 70. Had someone out last year when diverted was letting by, guy changes something in valve and said he had checked over ,all looked fine wasn't here so can't comment on what was done.

Supposing I decide to take hex off and clean , what would be recommended to flush it through??

I suppose thats and option,,,, Just thought I would ask the knowledgeable masses on the Do It Yourself forum to see if something straight forward before calling out a specialist.
