Hello Andy. Prompt yet again

Got an old place, grade 2 listed and the water pressure is quite poor in the bathroom and I'm pretty certain it changes when even the neighbours use the tap.

I wondered if i could install a booster or any other cost effective solution to remedy this?

2 options, is it mains fed or tank fed ?

mains fed: check the pressure at the tap then call out local water authority and ask them to check the pressure to the stop tap on the boundry (they will do this with no charge )

check the pressure to the house stop tap this would give you an idea of the problem

may be the lead feed and crushed slightly.

if tank fed may need tank placing higher or feed to cylinder going up a size

mains fed, but it this normal that the neighbours can effect my morning shower?!

yes. same way as your neighbours can effect the voltage at your service head

some services are split into 3 before going to ur property sometimes more.

Ok, thank you for the help will check at the stop tap and with the water board if need be.
