Water pressure has dropped after new pipes fitted.
Can anyone help with what is causing this?

plastic pipework has a lot thicker wall that copper, so you would get a reduced amount of water if you measured it for the same time,0

Thanks all, the low pressure was mid bathroom refit and has now been rectified.
After turning stop tap off and on (during first fit plumbing) the kitchen mixer tap had collected some bits of debris and also had some hardened deposits. I live in a hard water area.
Looks like I will have to replace kitchen tap soon as the actual tap fittings have seized up. Tap is approx 5 years old so didn't even consider this.0
