Well its only a flat so its not huge and I have no idea about the actual pipework length, but the kitchen sink is no more than 17 feet away from the cylinder, and the ensuite bathroom is probably about 22 feet away in a different direction. These were the two areas that were not getting the hot...

I have closed off the valve below the pump and we now have hot water coming out of all outlets! Massive thanks to everyone who replied! Its a massive relief to have that sorted. Well almost sorted anyway. I guess I now have to get someone in to replace the useless pump? My question now...

I just went to shut off these valves but then I realised I wasnt entirely sure which bit of it I need to turn exactly! There is the nut shaped part that looks like it is threaded and is slightly sticking out, then there is also a thinner piece coming out the middle from that and both parts seem...

Ok great, I will give it a go tonight at shutting off the valves to see if that has any effect on the hot water supply throughout the flat. Just to be clear though, I just use a spanner to tighten up the valves right? which basically closes them and stops the flow of water through them? I...

So the pump is definately incorrect in this setup? What I mean is, there is no chance whatsoever that it is part of our central heating system somehow? I just want to make sure before I shut of the valves as suggested. And when you say the valves, I take it you mean the small brass bits...

Ok, so the hot water cylinder is a Ultrasteel direct mains pressure stainless steel 150 litre tank. Here are some pictures of what is in the cupboard: If you want any other/better pics let me know. Thanks again for the help.

Oh, I see. So the blue terrier pump has nothing to do with the hot water supply? I am at work right now so will have to check about the bronze pump a bit later. But if there was one, would this also be powered by a switch? Because the only switches in the cupboard are the immersion on/off...

Just to confirm, the pump that I mentioned is a Terrier TC6 circulating pump. As I said, I dont know much about this kind of thing, but I figured this would be used to ensure hot water is fairly instant at all taps/showers etc. Also just to clarify, all taps and showers are mixer units, so...
