Continuous noisy pipes and water tank + huge water leak

As others have said, you need to look inside the tank/pics.

Once again thank you to you for your valuable suggestions. An Engineer attended the property and resolved the issue. The issue was described as follows in their report:

"Investigated in loft space and found cwst was constantly filling as ball valve had snapped off, the gurgling was from the overflow pipe as the water was constantly running through it, the banging was due to the faulty ball valve as well. Have supplied and fitted new ball valve in cwst This has resolved the issue".

Many of you had suspected the same. Upon my inquiry, the Engineer advised that the water tank met the specifications/standards.

Thank you again.

Best wishes.

As quite a few of us suggested the ball valve/ overflow.

The OP acknowledged that.

It is, however, a sad indictment of the plumbing industry when someone can look at that installation, claim it complies with the Water Supply (Water Fittings) Regulations 1999, and call themselves an 'engineer'. Isambard Kingdom Brunel will be rolling in his grave. Unless of course, the 'engineer' was merely commenting that the cistern itself (and not the installation of the cistern) is a compliant model, in which case he is she is being very specific and is very much a true engineer and very careful with choice of words.

There are a number of issues with the installation, but I would argue none of them are especially serious.
