One weak outlet or a problem throughout the property?
Check only by normal use whether the symptom affects one tap, all cold outlets, hot water alone or several fittings used together. Record whether it began suddenly or has always been noticeable. Those observations help distinguish a local fitting enquiry from a wider supply or installation issue; they do not establish a diagnosis.
If neighbouring homes report the same change, speak with the managing agent or relevant water supplier as appropriate. We avoid recommending a new tap, pump or pressure adjustment before the installation is assessed. Any equipment change must suit the actual supply arrangement and applicable requirements. Do not force unfamiliar valves or alter shared supplies yourself.
A Kensington service visit should identify whether the affected installation serves one home or multiple residences. For a house divided into flats, a shared supply or accessible communal pipe should not be altered just because it passes through your property.
Confirm lift availability, the floor and where building-controlled service cupboards are located. If a managing agent requires contractor details or attendance approval, arrange that before the visit. Permission for a repair and permission for a change to the building are not always the same.

Good to know.
Can you guarantee stronger shower pressure by changing the shower?
No. The supply, water-heating arrangement and other components can affect performance. A new shower is only a suitable recommendation after the cause and compatibility have been considered.
