Noise in heating pipes and pipes to water tank
Anonymous user 28/02/2024 - 3.17 PM
Hello, I have moved to a new property with an unfamiliar heating system. I have a gas boiler for the heating and to heat a water cylinder in the loft. When the boiler starts of finishes for either heat the water tank or to provide heating, there is a banging noise in the pipes and sometimes in the radiators themselves. All radiators, upstairs and downstairs are uniformly hot and the water is also heated properly and the radiators (old cast iron with new-ish valves to regulate amount of heat from 0 to 5) do not seem to have any system to bleed air out of them. The noise lasts a while and then disappears until the boiler comes off. I have read other posts around but not sure if this fits completely (something wrong with the ball valve and/or the radiator valves perhaps?). Any suggestions of what the problem could be? Is there anything I could do before contacting a qualified gas safe plumber? Cheers
