Do all UK sites need 110V compressors?

Most commercial CDM-regulated sites do. Private domestic jobs and most workshops use 230V.

Can I convert a 230V compressor to 110V?

No — the motor windings are different. You need a purpose-built 110V model or a step-down transformer rated for the start-up current.

Are 110V compressors weaker?

Same CFM and pressure as their 230V cousins, just with different motor windings. Performance is identical.
