I have recently removed and reinstalled a shower, sink and loo in my flat. (Third floor). The water is provided from a cold water tank in the loft. Before installation the cold water pressure was fine but after installation it has been greatly reduced to a trickle on all three components. Hot water from the combi boiler is good. Any ideas about what could be the problem????
Tap not fully open or partially blocked with e.g a bird skull (happened to me !)?

Does the combi runs off the mains water? If so, and possibly anyway, I'd reroute the cold water to the mains and remove the tank. This depends on there being a good flow of mains water.

Is it pressure or flow rate? I wouldn't have imagined your pressure would have been particularly high in this setup, although you might have had a good flow rate.
It could be that isolation valves have been installed thus reducing the potential flow rate. I had this myself when I installed my bathroom. I replaced the 15mm valve with a 22mm one (including soldering a 'reducer' each side).
