Had a new bathroom fitter, and the sink has these taps on Ideal Standard Tesi 1 lever Chrome effect Deck Mono Mixer Tap. The hot and cold water flow is reduced. But when the fitter took the taps off the water flow was increased, Could there be a problem with the new taps or is this because they have a ceramic valve in?
 
I’m guessing you have a cylinder with tanks eg gravity hot / gravity cold water ?
 
If it’s this one, it’s operating pressure is 0.3 bar, which if you don’t have, then could be your issue. More information on your setup as per @ShaunCorbs please, can you also confirm if the tap is correct, have a look on the box/instructions and see if it states a minimum pressure. Ceramic taps do have a tendency to reduce flow rates.

Dripping tap in my kitchen
I have a kitchen mixer tap with quarter turn levers and the cold side started dripping. I took out the ceramic valve and replaced it with one from Screwfix but it hasn’t solved the problem it still drips. Could it be a dodgy valve or is it something else? Thanks

Non return valve failure?
Hi there, All was good until one day the hot water suddenly started running quite a lot cooler. Putting my hand on the output at the boiler it's still hot there so I'm guessing there's a problem with cold water feeding into the hot water somewhere along the line. I have mixer taps on two...
