The house is 5 years old and the boiler has been working fine? We have never had these problems before. The first problem we noticed was the bath water was coming out luke warm water. Even in winter it has always been hot?

It sounds like the engineer has found standing pressure at the meter is as expected but has reported low working pressure to Transco.
Once they have corrected working pressure, gas valve may need adjusting to get correct pressure at burner and then hopefully all will be well.

low pressure is a 2 hour call out why have tranco not been yet
Heat Team generally have a good reputation as quite helpful.
However, you have to understand their function is to repair correctly installed boilers.
Its not their fault if the builder used a dodgy Cosovan plumber who might have used too small a gas pipe to save on the costs of materials.
They should still tell you clearly what needs to be done to correct the situation.
If the gas supply is inadequate then you can get a free visit from CORGI who should have details of the installers if it was a large contract.

Hi,
Its been 2 months now and dont think I can put up with this hot water problem any more.
We have paid £300 to the heat team who fixed the boiler initially but I am not happy that they are telling me to run the tap in the bath slower so we get hot water. This just seems stupid because we have been in the house for 3 years and up until the boiler problems everything was fine?
Can someone please tell me what could be wrong.
I dont think it is worth getting the Heat Team out again as they dont think it is there problem and think the wrong pipes have been installed.
How would it work for 3 years then the hot water be affected. The second time an engineer came out he said that the water is too cold as it is winter. This is rubbish we have had a couple of winters with running a bath with the hot water tap full on and hot water.
Please try and help.

I suspect the cold flow to the boiler was originally restricted at the inlet valve, (common practice to satisfy people who don't understand water flow rates and how combis work). Since the works have been carried out the valve has been left fully opened.
If the gas inlet to the boiler is low (below 18mb) it will not operate at its designed performance level. This is an installation fault and should have been picked up on the 3 annual services you have had!
It is not a boiler fault and hence not covered by Heateam.
