in the valve theres a rubber disc and this slimes up and sometimes sticks to the inlet, sometimes you also get a piece of lime stuck in the valve too.

My advice would be to turn the water off to the house and dismantle the valve. If you dont find any thing in there, turn the water on slowly and check the rate at which the water comes out of the pipe. If the flow is ok either refit the old valve and check it or nip out to Wickes and get a new one. They cost less than a fiver if its a plastic one.
