new heating system, knocking pipes
Options

I had a heating system fitting about five months ago but recently noticed a knocking sound which has now become pretty annoying. I've done some reading on the internet & noticed that people often get it when the boiler fires up but I get it constantly whilst the heating is on. I have bought a radiator key & released the air from the radiators but it has made no difference at all. Any idea???????????

have you tried checking the water pressure gauge on the boiler?If you think nobody cares if you're alive, try missing a couple of payments.0

the problem with that is that I don't have a gauge as such but have a kind of screw on the pipe that is turned with a screw driver. I have no idea which way to turn it to lessen the pressure & didn't know what damage it would do by turning it the wrong way. The only dials I have on the boiler (Potterton) is for the water temperature0
