Hot water pressure to kitchen tap abysmal

    We recent installed a new kitchen and while the hot water pressure to the sink in the kitchen was poor before, it is almost non existent now. >10 seconds to fill a cup, slow. Before replacing the kitchen I always thought there was a blockage in the hot water pipe to the kitchen sink. I was looking forward to resolving it once we had access to the pipes. Turned out to be worse, yes we put in a mixer tap with one of those water reducers in it, but even without the tap, the flow is dreadful.

    Any suggestions please?

    Pressurise the water system by adding a pump, will help all taps, bath etc and pumped showers if you have one.

    Hot and cold at kitchen sink will always be different as cold as is mains & hot isn't. Your old mixer was most likely a low pressure mixer and the new one installed is designed for high pressure. Changing the mixer back to a low pressure one will increase hot pressure back to the way it used to be.
