Over 3 mins to get hot water in kitchen - is this normal?

[gassafe]

Hot was as per government guidlines lol... Good luck telling that to your plumber lol!

Sounds like a long dead leg to the kitchen sink, maybe due to the relocation of the hot hw cylinder etc... Maybe possible to reroute the pipe more direct etc, best get him back to check...

A secondary hot water circulation could also be an option or have the Combi feed the kitchen still & not the unvented system!

Was your water mains pipe replaced/upsized from stopcock in road back to your property?

as tamz says it needs secondary return supplied by a bronze pump on a time switch. no brainer if tap is on a long run

Thanks for your replies.

Is it too late to fit a secondary return? what level of work is involved to do this? The fastest time for me to get hot water is 52 secs in the toilet on the ground floor. The tap in the loft en-suite takes 4mins.

I still haven't heard back from the plumber. Perhaps he is busy....

Reckon that needs eyes on to answer accurately.

Ah I see. Do you think I should call out another plumber to assess and get second opinion?

If the 1st guy wont come back I guess it`s the only option.

I meant after speaking to the plumber (when he gets back to me). I've just discovered that he has fitted my shower incorrectly. When I turn on the shower the hand rinser comes on instead of the shower head so I am losing a bit of faith in him.

Is it a digital shower
