Thanks for the advice, there is something like the PRV shown in the last post in the meter pit as far as I can remember, I'll have a go at it next week to see if I can do anyhting to improve our water pressure.

After a couple of attempts, we have finally had a visit from the man from Veolia who checked the water pressure at the meter and confirmed it was all OK.  He had the meter apart too and cleaned it so peace of mind on that front. His advice, as others on this thread, was that it was a problem with the water pressure regulator, and also a separate mechanical problem with one of the taps that he tested. So next stop is to get a plumber in to look at those.      Report

Feedback from our situation too, it was the PRV that was causing the problem, managed to replace it this summer and hey presto great water pressure, closing in on being the best 30 Euro I've spent.
