It could be the filter in the inlet pipe. What I do is tie up the ballcock in the attic and drain the water before opening the pipe.

Typically on that filling valve the problem is caused by the rubber diaphragm which is located behind the larger green nut.
You will first need to have a replacement diaphragm ready to fit as often the old ones can be hard and brittle from age.
You can buy them in most hardware B and Q / Woodies etc stores in the plumbing section.
Turn off the cold water supply to the bathroom.
Unscrew the large green nut and very carfully remove the arm assembly being careful not to drop the centre pin and put it aside.
Fish out the old diaphragm and fit the new one.
Note which way faces into the valve body.
Refit the water spout that goes onto the top of the valve body, its missing from the picture.
Fit the arm assembly, making sure the pin is in place and make sure to sit it into its correct locating slot and tighten.

This is what you are looking for..
