We have replaced a tap in our kitchen, when we turned the water back on, the taps upstairs just dribble out and the toilet seems to take for ages to fill up again, any tips of how to resolve this PLEASE

Try this:- if you have two taps in your kitchen sink and the cold one is from your internal stopcock, place a piece of hose between the hot water tap outlet and the cold one ,open the hot tap first then the cold one go upstairs and turn on the taps and see if any flow happens, this proceedure normally shifts an air block.

Hello I've just been in my kitchen,I've also got a mixer,the mixer is still really two outlets coming through one pipe.Can you somehow put a container over the(like maybe a plastic milk bottle} and make it leak proof maybe wrapping some cloth round the tap and doing as I said, probably needs two people so as the container does not pop off
Of coarse an airlock might not be your problem,nothing ventured nothing gained.
