no its coming straight of the inlet and spluttering , they have run the cold tap for 15 minutes and its still doing it , ive never come across it in 50 odd years of plumbing , ill go and have a look tomorow

it was turned of in the night time for an external repair in the road so it is possible it was drained

I don’t know how big the main is that was worked on but in a lot of cases like this the water companies turn the water back on a bit at a time to let the pressure equalise throughout the system and slowly over time increase it to full pressure.

Give it a couple of weeks and if nothings changed contact the water company.

hi ive just came back from the dentist job and the spluttering was due to 1 of the surgeries compressed air and water mixers breaking down and air was getting into the water i did suggest that was the case on the phone to her and she said no they are separate and not mixed , so thanks for all the the replies
