Small plumbing snag: occasionally there's a bit of hot water coming out
of my cold water taps: I open a tap, the water runs cold for a few
seconds, then suddenly hot for another few seconds, and then cold again.

This sounds like a result of the proximity of hot and cold pipes.
Presumably it only happens if you leave enough time to allow it to
reheat the adjacent pipe.
