Boiler running cold

We have a Worcester Greenstar boiler that is not heating the water as hot as it did - it is running too cold - I am assuming that a valve needs tweaking - is this something that a normal person can change or do we need a plumber ?

Assuming that it's a combi boiler, then that's normal in the middle of winter. The incoming cold water is colder than it was in the summer.
It looks like there should be a hot water temperature control on the boiler. Check the manual.
A slightly hacky alternative is to slightly shut off the tap/valve that feeds the boiler to limit the maximum flow.
Or just don't turn the hot taps full on.If it sticks, force it.
If it breaks, well it wasn't working right anyway.0 -
