i doubt the guys on here would recommend tampering with the main stopcock, on the other hand they may suggest a pressure reducing valve which i think will keep the pressure down to around 3.5 bar, which is pretty standard.

i worked alongside a super-fast plumber for a good 5 years. We basically did a **** load of new installations within the hampshire region, working for companies like barratt, kingsoak, persimmons, wimpey etc... and it did pay very well... towards the end of my time with him i was prob on...
