Plumbing advice needed - pipes hammering/banging

Nevergrownup

Evening all

Hoping someone with plumbing experience can give me some advice. We've moved into our house about 6 months ago and we noticed that occasionally there was a very loud, intermittent rattling/banging noise that occurred immediately after we flushed the toilet. The problem would continue until you flushed the toilet again which seemed to cure it.

The problem got worse recently so I tried to re-balance the air pressure in the pipes. This seemed to calm it down but the issue is still occurring. I'm not sure what the problem is, but I was recently poking around in the toilet cistern (fixing an apparently unrelated problem) when I noticed that the banging occurred when a small tube of clear plastic attached to the fill valve seemed to get blocked up as the cistern tried to fill back up. I've enclosed a picture of the tube I'm talking about in the next post to better illustrate my point; it's on the right of the picture, please excuse the grime!

Any advice or info that someone can offer as to how to fix this problem would be greatly appreciated. If you need anything else explaining just let me know and I'll do me best.

Cheers

Apparently the picture I'm trying to post has too many characters (?) - I'll find a way to get the pic up but any advice in the meantime would be great!

hi

we had this problem as well you could hear the noise/vibrations all around the house.

We changed all flush system inside the cistern and the noise went away, I am not a plumber but it was quite easy!

I would never have gussed that was the problem either!
