You also want to check whether there is grit in the faucet screen. You probably have a screw-off head on your faucet with a little wire screen in it. If the screen gets clogged, there goes your flow. It's easy just to screw off the head (put a scrap of rag around it before you apply the pliers so you don't scratch it), take the pieces out, rinse them off, and screw it back on again.

I learned (learnt?) this the hard way -- in my first house my water flow went to nothing, I called a plumber, he cleaned the screen and charged me a full service call and went whistling off while I sat there feeling REALLY stupid.
