Turned off mains, opened cold and hot side of kitchen tap, both stopped in about 30 seconds. Worked on toilet and changed some tap washers. Turned back on, all good pressure downstairs, hot and cold very poor upstairs.

Told her I'm not unvented so can't advise/deal with.

But did I do anything wrong? ...
 
What was it like before you touched it, did you look?
What is the incoming pressure
Is it a balanced supply

Didn't check.

Not sure what that means but I did notice hot on taps that were working had good bit more oomph than cold.

New boiler, unvented etc put in very recently.
 
But am I right in thinking that if you want to change tap washers on a system with an unvented you just turn off the mains and run off the cold and hot? You're not meant to do anything other than that are you?
 
It might be a bit of muck in the filter but as you don't know about them tell her to get whoever fitted it back to have a look.
