3 bed bungalow, Glow worm 125 electronic combi , heating excellent, taps temp rubbish,

Hi folks, I recently moved into this bungalow and am not at all happy with the boiler, which is situated in the garage. Every morning I have to run off 3/4 of a bucket of water before any hot water arrives and even then it's not very warm I have to boil a kettle to wash the dishes. Kitchen and bathroom are at opposite end to the garage. Any advice welcomed please.

1. If the hot water is plumbed in 22mm pipe, re-pipe in 15mm.
2. Insulate the pipes with good quality, thick, insulation.
3. Investigate why water is not hot enough. Could be heat loss through long runs of pipe, could be boiler temperature not turned up high enough, could be boiler fault.
4. If problem persists, consider using combi to heat vented or unvented hot water cylinder.
