I went over there to have a look, and she is dead right. The downstairs
water is blisteringly hot, the bathroom water - shower, bath tap and basin
tap - is best described as feebly warm. Given that there only appears to
be one hot water outlet from the boiler, which presumably splits somewhere
under the kitchen worktop into downstairs and upstairs feeds, what on
earth could be causing this odd symptom ?


has anyone fitted a thermostatic temp limiter on the bath room?
You can buy units that ensure the temp never exceeds a safe 43C and it may
have gone duff or someone may have adjusted it in error.
This is an example of what to look for http://www.screwfix.com/prods/18732


Any suggestions gratefully received ... d:-\

Thanks for the suggestion Dennis. I don't recall seeing any such when we did
the bathroom refit a few months ago, but then I wasn't really looking. I
guess it could also be downstairs where the up / down 'split' takes place.
I'll have a look when I go round there next. Probably be the weekend now.
