Cold tap problem sounds like there's a 'dead leg' somewhere on the system containing air. As far as the hot is concerned, please give us some more info as to what system you have , and how your water is heated.
Extra info: I've noticed that the flow of water on the hot tap slows by itself after about 20 seconds and that's when the banging starts.. Turn the tap up full and it stops
