Hi Both Thanks for your helpful replies , he hasnt been out yet , but i am due to speak to them tonight to arrnage a time and date so the sooner the better , specially as the heating hasnt been on for a while !!

Cheers mate We have an engineer coming out (we are tenants) soon , so i will come back and post what was wrong , for intrests sake !

Hi Tony No the boiler doesnt fire up straight away , i am sure it used to mind you , and i think the gas engineer we spoke to a while ago said its output was 10 litres per minute...? So 5 minutes is definatly too long , with the heating off , then lol

Hello again For those interested still , sorry its taken so long Its a Halstead `the finest` Wickes 90 Good or bad ?! Also , timed it this morning , to run hot from the kitchen tap took nearly 5 minutes (with the heating off) Heat exchanger caked in crap ?!

The tap is roughly 3 meters i would say , goes along the outside wall from the bathroom , and into the kitchen. We didnt live there when installed , it seems quite an old boiler though ! , and it definatly takes much longer this year than last summer Steve

Believe me mate i WANT it to have a fault , because i dont think its acceptable to wait so long for hot water ! I was also just interested in the hetaing off/slower hot water question thats all ! Steve

Dont you ? Simple really fella , i wanted to know if a combi boiler is supposed to give hot water in the same timescale , irrespective of wether the heatings on. That ok ?

Cheers both I will post the make and model when i get home....i was just as interested to know , is it accepted that combi boilers will give hot water quicker when the heatings on ? S

Hello all I was just interested , how it is our combi boiler , takes longer to heat water when the heating is off as opposed to when its on ? I understand that it may come through quicker when the heatings on but why ? , shouldnt it be a lot quicker than 90 seconds ?! Also are there not...
