I have a had a full new central heating system installed in my terraced house, including a new supply direct from the mains. The supply comes in via a 22mm plastic pipe and is connected via the stopcock then to standard copper through to the combi boiler a Glow worm 30si, from here it feeds the bathroom and then to the kitchen, the supply of water/hot water is fine up there but in the kithen its crap!!! is it likely to be down to the taps used in the kitchen, as I am concerned that the slow flow through them could cause damage to the boiler.[/i][/b]
Slow flow from Kitchen Taps!!!!!!

Your right it is a new tap with the small flex conections but there the same size as the ones on the bathroom tap which is fine.
The cold is quite slow too, there are service valves on them but there fully open.
It is a mixer tap, there is a mesh type of filter on the end, could this be slowing things down?

The mesh at end of mixer should be removeable. Take it off and clean it.
Flex connectors should be a short as possible and ensure that they are not kinked or twisted.
However problem is probably that the taps are designed for higher pressure than you have.

it wont hurt your boiler which will just modulate down for the low flow rate.
