slow filling cold water tank

[zena591]

Hi, I am new to this so bear with me. I have a problem with the cold water supply to my tank in the loft, the water coming into the house normally and the kitchen sink is in full flow but somehow between there and the tank it slows to a mere trickle and we are using the water before the tank can fill up resulting in no water to the taps.

I am wondering if it could be some kind of blockage resulting form debris( its a long story but the builders along the road severed the pipe and all the gunk came down to me in the pipe! a few months ago.
I am told my insurance wont cover it and i am at my wits end. Any advice would be gratefully recieved.

Hello and welcome.

From what you have said I would start by stripping down the ballvalve and cleaning it out and then take it from there.

I agree with Simon sounds like some crap in orifice
