Hi, We have just had a new bathroom fitted and we have lost virtually every ounce of water pressure on both hot and cold feeds on all new fitments. We are fed from a tank in the loft and have an external pressure tank in the airing cupboard.
The pressure was absolutlely fine before the work was carried out and taps that were not touched (in the downstairs loo) are still completely fine in terms of pressure and flow.
The plumber says the "had to" fit control valves and that we now have to have a pump (at extra expense) to fix the problem and wanted advise on if there are regulations in place meaning that they had to fit these control valves (meaning I have to pay extra for a pump) or if the control valves are removed then water pressure would go back to what it was previously.
Please help as currently it ould take about a week to get wet in the shower and takes over an hour to run a decent bath!!!
