The Worcester Bosch 28CDI boiler we have is approaching ten years old. Compared to when the boiler was first installed, the time taken for hot water to come through the taps has been increasing - which is what I would expect. This morning I timed it, 44 seconds. Seems excessive??? The...

The Worcester Bosch 26CDi in our house is approx 13 years old. Lately I observed two things. Firstly the time taken for a constant stream of hot water from the taps has increased to approx 40 seconds. Secondly water must have been dripping from (what looks like) a vent pipe, but I have just...

Got a shed 3.3m x 2.3m currently standing on a concrete base. I need to resite it elsewhere in the garden and plan to stand it on a wooden platform or decking on top of what is currently a vegetable patch. Questions I would like answers to are do I have to site it a set distance from boundary...

OK I confess, I did change the aspect to North facing, after I'd realised my mistake. So it seems that the aspect is OK, next question. The patio (ha, ha) where it will stand is in need of a complete replacement anyway, so I assume I can relay the whole patio first, with a greater depth as...

SWMBO insists that we have a conservatory. I'm dubious that because it will be on a north facing wall that gets very little if any sun, it will end up being a heatsink (take heat away from rest of house) Any advice (apart from give in and have an easy life)?

just checked the ex v valve, depressed the pin expecting water, but nothing, not even a hiss of air (system was running at the time). Do I switch off the heating and pump up (to what pressure please)? Ta

Before asking this, I confirm I have read the FAQ's, but haven't spotted the information I need. My Worcester Bosch boiler recently had its annual service by British Gas. As it's in the loft I don't have the opportunity to see it often. However about two weeks after it was serviced I noticed...

Visited my mum today and noticed the pressure dial on her Worcester Bosch boiler was reading 3.5 bar, which seems higher than I thought was recommended. I happen to have the same boiler, so am interested to know 1 how do you reduce the pressure (I know how to increase it)? 2 Does it...

if 15 seconds is the worst, what's resonable to expect on my Worcester Bosch? Might be academic if the delay time can't be reduced?

Ain't got that problem, but thanks for the tip. Looks like the answer is patience.

OK, understand that. Is there a method to reduce the amount of cold water, as sometimes it seems to go on for ages?

Why is it that when I turn on my hot water taps at home 1. the time taken for the water to run hot varies 2. Often it can run hot then run cold before staying hot. I have a Worcester Bosch combi boiler (can't remember model and I'm at work now anyway), installed about five years ago...
