Hi there !
When I turn any tap on (hot or cold) at no set time and for a varying time there will be a seriously loud noise which i can only assume is coming from the pipes. It doesn't matter where in the house you've turned on a tap or how long you've had it in for the noise just occours randomly! I'd really appreciate some help as it has got me flumoxed.

Water hammer, perhap?"You were only supposed to blow the bl**dy doors off!!"0

Water hammer, air in the system or vibration from an unsecured pipe most likely.
Firstly try turning the mains pressure down at the stopcock a little and if that doesnt work try tracing the pipe runs to see if any of it is unecured.0 -
