Kitchen tap

View the thread, titled "Kitchen tap" which is posted in UK Plumbers Forums on UK Plumbers Forums.

I had a plumber fit a new mono block kitchen tap. The water runs very slowly now. Also, not sure if this is to do with it, but my hot water doesn’t get as hot as it did with my old tap.
Anyone help?

Any chance of a picture of the pipework under the sink top to see if the flexi hoses are twisted, or a valve not fully open?
 
I’d say it sounds like a restriction in the tap spout. If you’re on a combi boiler, and the water is not getting as hot as it used to, then basically you don’t have adequate water flow rate to activate the boiler for full power water heating
