    Sounds like the diverter valve is stuck, so the boiler can't change from CH to HW heating.

    You need a gas safe registered engineer in. You've proven it by saying that the heating pipes heat up instead of the heat going into the hot water outlet pipe. In extreme cases a blocked secondary heat exchanger can also cause this, but either way, it needs a professional on the case.
