Hi Lawrence,
I didn't answer your Q. in post #30: my plumbing job: now fixed.

It could be a long story, but I'll try to be be brief. Some time ago we had our central heating boiler replaced and a complete re-fit of the bathroom. As a consequence, the water pressure in the domestic hot water system was much, much higher (old system was a gravity-fed affair). The increased water pressure meant that when taps were turned on, water came out so fast that it tended to splash about a great deal and go everywhere!    The fitment of adjustable isolating valves (so that the pressure at the taps could be reduced to a sensible figure) solved the problem: bathroom, downstairs W.C. and kitchen sink, H & C taps.

Yep, been there done that, all our tap/toilet and anything else that might be servicable has isolating valves fitted technicalyl I think they reduce the flow more than pressure but they do the job. Our hot water is gravity but as we are in a very low single story building the bottom of the cold water cistern is only about 3 ft higher than our hot water tank so high pressure out of the hot taps does not apply...literaly...
