  • Horn sound when hot tap is turned on

    We keep getting a horn like sound from the pipe when we turn on the hot taps in both upstairs bathroom (mostly from here on shower and sink) and in the kitchen sink. It happens when we first turn it on, and we have to turn the pressure down for it to stop and slowly turn it up and then it's fine we had the boiler serviced recently

    Bay window sill

    Wooden interior window sill beneath bay window in upstairs bedroom has a bulge in the inside corner. The window is double glazed and secondary glazing has also been installed. The area isn't damp and the bulge is firm to the touch and doesn't move, even when I press it. Any advice on how to get this investigated and fixed would be welcomed. Thanks.
