My En-suite basin cold tap does this also. It is because both hot and
cold pipes are close together under the floor so the heat from the hot
pipe heats up a short section of cold pipe and therefore the water
inside.
I was thinking that at first but it doesn't matter which tap I run and
it happens even when the central heating is off and I haven't ran any
hot water taps.

Has this just started or have you had a plumber in recently?

It's actually a complete re-plumbing job and it doesn't have a gravity
feed, the problem is that several sets of plumbers were in on different
stages and I didn't get in again until a couple of months after it was all
done and appeared to be working OK :-( ...

I am not understanding something here. If it "doesn't have a gravity feed"
why have you got a HW cylinder? I am not a plumber but I was under the
understanding that Cylinder = gravity system (header tank in loft and No
Cylinder = mains fed HW on demand (combi boiler)?
