    Low Household Water Pressure
    I have recently purchased a new house which is a 4 bed detached property that is 20 years old. I have noticed that the water pressure in the downstairs cloak room i.e. toilet, hand basin compared to the family bathroom and our ensuite is noticeably different i.e. greater. In all areas there have been fitted by the previous owners new fitments i.e toilet, bathroom and ensuite etc. But in the family bathroom they have used 10mm flexible plastic tap connectors where possibly they should have used 15mm ones.

    Is a water pump the answer to my problem or new boiler/system? In the future I am planning to extend the property so will need to add another 4 radiators to the existing system and we already have 10 radiators on it.

    Have you checked the aerators on the sink faucet downstairs? New fixtures installed could be clogged when water is turned on after installation.
