It turned out it wasn't giving any hot water, for the last few days before having it repaired I needed to turn on the immersion heater to get any hot water

Yeah I got it sorted, the gas engineer found that the condensate drain was blocked. He cleaned the drain, gave the boiler a service and charged me £60 which was well worth it for the hassle it was causing!
