sounds

Just bought a new house with a Worcester Greenstar Camray 18/25 boiler and Zircon cylinder. Hot water and heating are working fine. When in heating mode boiler sounds normal but when in hot water mode it sounds like a very noisy washing machine in wash mode, gurgling swishing noise of water. Is...

Can anyone tell me what this pipe is and why it might be dribbling water? Its near the boiler but doesn't seem to be connected. Looks like some sort of overflow but I don't know what to. Many thanks.. Paul

Our boiler/pump has been making a strange pulsating noise for a while now. I've uploaded a video here: https://youtu.be/joe6JuFu4bk It's a Valliant Ecotec plus boiler and a Grundfos alpha+ pump. The boiler works fine still but the noise can be overpowering. Any advice? Do you think a new...

Hi, We recently had our boiler serviced and was told it's working fine, we then replaced the pump ourselves after we had issues with the old one failing. It worked fine for a while, then all of a sudden we started to get whooshing Sounds through the pipes whenever the boiler kicked in to...

How can I reduce the sound of the soil pipe from my bathroom? Whenever someone uses the loo etc it sounds like a waterfall. I think most of the noise is from when it gets to the bottom? Any suggestions?

Hi, I have a Halstead Ace boiler and just a few days ago, I went to repressurise it as the pressure dial was on zero and we had not hot water or heating. Anyway, when I used to repressurise before, I would hear the water going through and I was hear the pressure up. Now, I don't even get any...

So we got a phone call from a gent saying his fuel bills were extremely high and his heating was not very warm at all. On arrival today we found an "eco" flat. He has an unvented twin coil 300l cylinder. Bottom coil is solar thermal, that happens to actually be blocked somewhere along the...

Our 15-year-old Aquastream Aqualisa power shower has recently become really noisy, like a vacuum cleaner. Does this mean the pump is on its way out, or are there any other possible explanations? I'd rather not replace it right now because my boiler will probably have to be replaced in the...

Hello, I have a Elson Coral E Open Vented Thermal Store boiler. A couple of weeks it started making loud popping noises when it heated up at night so a plumber came around to drain the tank and change the elements. Now when it heats up at night it sounds like a loud kettle boiling...

We installed a 30kw boiler to a detached house with 18 rad system and pressurised cylinder about 7 months ago. Every couple of months the customer rings to say some of the rads work and then don't the next day and that it is random all through the house on different days. We have been back many...

Afternoon all, and thanks in advance for your help. About 2 years ago, the immersion heater in our hot water cylinder broke so we had it replaced. Now I can't remember 100% but I'm sure that before the change, when we put the immersion on it didn't make much noise. Since the change, as soon...

Hi guys. Ive been asked to swap over couple of rads and at the same time flushout, clean and treat the system. I have no experience of power flushing and so was going to proceed by first; treating the system with a cleaning product,drain down system, remove the sediment from the feed &...

I appreciate any advice here. Quick synopses of sorry tale. Plumber did wet work on my combi central heating & it was only when I got the boiler commissioned that gas guy told me I had a one pipe system. Got plumber back to install two pipe system but from then on its been hell. One pipe system...
