    You live in a new house that is part g of build regs compliant.
    therefore you have flow restrictors on sink taps.

    You live in a very old house and you pipes are furred up.

    You have a kitchen tap with flexi hoses which are kinked...

    Your isolators are not fully open....

    You have a faulty mixer valve....

    You have a tap designed for mains/high water (hot and cold) pressure fitted to a gravity low pressure system.
