Lost pressure in kitchen tap

[KingdomScrolls]

Just that really, pressure seems fine in the bathroom, but the kitchen hot tap is suddenly really slow, kitchen is fairly old and in need of renovation but we're not quite there yet. Tap is a standard mixer with round hot and cold taps and one faucet. We do live in a hard water area am I going to have to call a plumber out?

a photo of the tap woulkd be a great help.

what country are you in?

What colour is your hot-water cylinder?

how old is the tap?

Does the tap have a knob or capstan that rotates several turns, or does it have a lever that moves only a quarter-turn?

Have your neighbours lost water pressure?
The kitchen cold tap is usually the first tap off the water mains in the street. The bathroom may still be getting water from a header tank.
Ring your water company if you are losing mains pressure.

@PigletJohn sorry I forgot to come back and check the thread!
I think the kitchen and tap are probably nineties or early 2000s, hot water cylinder is a yellowy colour and upstairs, we're in England (South East), cold water pressure is good, kitchen tap has two knobs that rotate fully like normal taps one for cold one for hot. Sometimes it doesn't turn off fully, you have to turn it back on then off again or there's a trickle although that seems more the cold. Like the picture attached.

I think the pressure upstairs is ok, we've fairly recently had a new bathroom and have those taps where it comes out a bit like a waterfall so it's hard to judge but running a bath today I turned the hot on full and the cold three quarters like I usually do and it was the usual temperature, I figured if hot water pressure was low upstairs the mix would be cooler than normal. The mains overhead shower has a pump so that's impossible to judge really.

I think most likely the problem is wear in the tap mechanism. The type you show is easily repaired. Coincidentally, same advice as in
