I have a Gloworm Swift Flow 120 combi boiler, but it doesn't seem to produce very hot water.

When turning on a hot tap, the water initially runs very hot, then backs down to warm. The only way you can run consistently hot water is to back off the tap to a trickle, wait for it to heat up, then gradually increase the flow until about 1/2 open, where the water comes out at a reasonable temp but not very fast. Unfortunately, this routine takes about 20 mins to fill a bath, so is pretty inconvenient!!

Any ideas gratefully recieved.

Many thanks

Probably a sludge problem, confirmable by temperature probe readings in the boiler.
Could be sensors, burner rate, etc.
