    Is your stopcock fully open? Is the company stopcock fully open?

    Cheers

    :T:T:TIt really has to be asked;)


    The other point is that even if the stop !!!!, make that stopcock, is fully open. It my have reduced opening due to scale/crud build up within the valve itself.

    I'd certainly start there, I had a new plastic mains moled in a few years back, can't imagine the cost today;)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed
  • Thank you all for your kind help...I think I will change the supply pipe and see how I go with that first...If that doesn't make a big difference to the flow, then I will change the copper pipe through to the kitchen...

    I will post back on here with my results once this has been done...

    I'm sorry but, you need to take the good advice that's been given here rather head of on your scattergun approach.

    I.E, before you arrange to have anything changed, check, (or have someone check the water flow before and after the stopcock.

    Remember it's flow not pressure you are checking :A:A
