What boiler is it?
How Recently?
First things to do check the pipes.
4 pipes and one that goes out the wall
CHF HW GAS CW CHR
are normaly the pipe setup check the pipes and make sure in hot water mode CW pipe or mains is cold if its hot its back to front ive seen so many plonkers put them the wrong way around. you will need to get the installer back.
If thats ok check the CHF pipe central heating flow if that gets hot then the plate heat exchanger to the hotwater circit is blocked up.
Also turn the Central heating off so its fully dead and try the tap again, If it works then you know its not the water flow switch as it brings the boiler on.
there are some things to look out but please reply with more details on the boiler so we can look up the manual and offer some advice

ill have a look see what make it is was only fitted a month ago but its the 1st time the hot water has been used since it was fitted as its a house thats under refurb and the bathroom has just been fitted so 1st time the hot water has been run properly but i know the bloke who fitted it checked the hot water and it was ok when he fitted it. It does it when you turn the central heating on but only for a few seconds then the vibrating stops
just to add the cold water is cold and the central heating gets hot and works fine
havent spoke to him yet as wanted to get an idea of what it could be so ive got some ammunition so he dont try and fob me off
He is not in a position to fob you off if the boiler he installed is not working correctly.
Even if its a manufacturer's fault he should still co-ordinate getting them to fix it.
Be aware that if he calls the manufacturer and when they come they find its his fault then it could well be a chargeable visit at about £90. Thats his responsibility because:-
XXX It was his faulty installation which caused the fault.
XXX He was too stupid to know what was causing the fault.
