What type of boiler is it a combi does it have a pre-heat facility how far is tap from boiler (or cylinder) is hot tap a monobloc type
 
The simple answer is that there is a lot of pipe, full of cold water, which has to come out of your tap before the hot water from the tank or combi boiler reaches your sink.

But you probably knew that anyway!

Many thanks i didn't know that, There is no way you can run it through quicker then. It is a combi boiler, its in the garage not far away, the setting on the boiler is set to 4 is that ok what does this mean.
