Answered on 9th Nov 2020 - Member since Oct 2018 - report"It’s because some pipes are not fixed enough to walls or you may have a faulty toilet inlet valve.
It may cost around less than £100 in either case"
"Unsecured pipes could be the culprit if you hear banging, tapping, clunking and knocking. But, you also might have pipes that are constantly vibrating and humming."
Answered on 9th Sep 2020 - Member since May 2020 - report"It's sounds like you might have air in the system, you can get air bleeding bottles put next to the cylinder in the closed loop for the dad's, or bleed all the radiators manually, look on YouTube how to bleed radiators
(34359) this is the screwfix part number for bleed bottle"
"most likely due to high cold mains water pressure.
a water hammer arrestor and/or a pressure reducing valve will fix the problem.
these need to be installed on the water main.
I hope this helps!

"It seems to me like you might have some air in the system, you could try bleeding the radiators with a radiator key. This can be purchased from Screwfix, tool station etc. Hope that helps. Many Thanks"
