Since returning to our apartment from the UK we have very poor water flow in our kitchen sink. The rest of our apartment seems fine. No obvious leak. San Javier.

Have you made sure that your main stop tap is turned fully on ??

Also check the little mesh filter / aerator in the end of your tap / taps, it could very easily be blocked with debris.

You will probably need a small spanner to remove the filter.

Thank you so much, you were correct!

There was nothing obvious to see but as soon as we removed the end of the tap we had perfect flow!!

Many thanks for responding to my post.  It turns out it was just a simple blockage at the end of the tap.
