I had a plumber fit a new mono block kitchen tap. The water runs very slowly now. Also, not sure if this is to do with it, but my hot water doesn’t get as hot as it did with my old tap.
Anyone help?

Cylinder or combi boiler ?
 

Valve shut , flex twisted should be the same pressure as the cold then so could be installation error or faulty fitting best call the installer back

Any chance of a picture of the pipework under the sink top to see if the flexi hoses are twisted, or a valve not fully open?
 
I’d say it sounds like a restriction in the tap spout. If you’re on a combi boiler, and the water is not getting as hot as it used to, then basically you don’t have adequate water flow rate to activate the boiler for full power water heating
