its been taken from the mains in 32mm mdpe up to about 2 meters before the house I was thinking of reducing here from the boundary stop tap to bring 25mm in to the house. The water pressure is very high.

Over 2 m at 30 l/min
25 mm pipe is 20.1 mm ID so loss of 0.03 bar
32 mm pipe is 25.8 mm ID so loss of 0.01 bar
Very low numbers so not really worth worrying about.
