Good morning everyone. My parent had a new kitchen and bathroom fitted in her flat 2 years ago and has only now told me that the hot water flow to both hot taps is really poor. it wasn't like this before. its a flat with a 1075x450 IND BS combi HW tank. she says that the tank was drained down during the works. MY question is, can i desludge or clear the blockage or do i need a new tank?

Depending on what type of taps you have, there may just be a blockage on the tap outlet.
Unscrew the outlet, and see if there is anything there.
You may also have a water flow restrictor there that can be altered or removed
