Banging pipes

Question

There is a banging sound coming from the pipes in my house. It happens often enough. What could be causing this issue? Is it something that ought to be fixed or is it just an annoyance that is doing no real damage? If it needs to be fixed, how much might it cost?

Peter · Accepted Answer

Pipes need clips faulty non return valve it could be air depending on type of system

Steve · Answer

This could be air in the system or simply the water pipes are to close together and when heat is in the pipes they flex about.

Jonathan · Answer

Sounds like an air blockage in your water feeds can be easily rectified by a plumber

Dean · Answer

It could be a variety of things either the stop tap, hot or cold taps or ball valves.

Ahsan · Answer

It’s because some pipes are not fixed enough to walls or you may have a faulty toilet inlet valve.

It may cost around less than £100 in either case

Ahmed · Answer

Unsecured pipes could be the culprit if you hear banging, tapping, clunking and knocking. But, you also might have pipes that are constantly vibrating and humming.

Gary · Answer

It's sounds like you might have air in the system, you can get air bleeding bottles put next to the cylinder in the closed loop for the dad's, or bleed all the radiators manually, look on YouTube how to bleed radiators
(34359) this is the screwfix part number for bleed bottle

Jonathan · Answer

most likely due to high cold mains water pressure.

a water hammer arrestor and/or a pressure reducing valve will fix the problem.

these need to be installed on the water main.


I hope this helps!

It seems to me like you might have some air in the system, you could try bleeding the radiators with a radiator key. This can be purchased from Screwfix, tool station etc. Hope that helps. Many Thanks
