    Noisy Pipes When Shower is Used

    We've been having problems with what I assume is our boiler. When we use the shower we can hear the pipes underneath rattling really loudly and a chugging and propeller type noise that sounds like it’s hitting something. The noise used to be much more subtle and only came on when we had the heater on, I think this is also affecting our water pressure in the shower. The problem has gotten worse over the past few months. What could it be?

    Macerator toilets - are they any good?

    We're thinking of adding an extra toilet and we've been told it's tricky to plumb in and should consider installing a macerator. I'm not sure I like this solution as it seems overly complicated and a bit icky, so I would like the professional opinion of a plumber. Is this a good, reliable and hygienic solution, or not?

    Do plumbers offer out of hours emergency services?

    I don’t have an emergency right now but just wondering, who could I contact if a plumbing emergency arose, and especially if it happened at all hours, like four in the morning? Would just be good to know in case. You can never be too safe! Thank you!
