Hello
When I moved into my house I put an unvented in the loft. All pipes were replaced other than the hot water pipe that runs from the airing cupboard floor, under a part of the bedroom, under the bath & down to feed the kitchen.
Since then when the hot water is turned on for the first time there’s a loud clicking pipe expansion noise from under the floor.
It’s beginning to get on my nerves!
It’s also a real pain to fix it as it’s floors up & it’ll probably need to run above the boards under the bath to connect to taps & then go down to feed the kitchen.
What do people think of plastic pipe?
Cut off copper pipe at the bottom in the airing cupboard & then feed it through to bathroom & connect back near bath taps to the old copper again. That may work or if not I can feed it down to the kitchen in the front rear hallway cupboard.
Any thoughts? I can’t remember if this used to happen when my mum had the old gravity system but she used to complain of banging pipes.
Cheers all.
