Problem with hot water supply?

Over the last week or so, the water pressure coming out of the hot taps has dropped to a little more than a trickle.
The water pressure out of the cold taps has not changed at all, any ideas please as to what the problem might be.

if its a combi and the cold water pressure is ok then there is usually a filter on the cold feed into the boiler , this will not be visable and will need nuts undoing to find it , follow the cold pipe into the bottom of the boiler and it will be there somewhere it will not be actually inside the boiler it is always on the pipe into it , I am assuming that the valve on the inlet pipe into the boiler is fully open as well

Sorry, it's a combi boiler (Sime,Friendly E)

I take it you have a normal tank and cylinder set up and not a combi boiler , if so there is a blockage either at end fitting on the tank (the plastic or steel one in the loft, not the cylinder) or on the pipe between the tank and the cylinder possibly on the gate valve.
