Hi - last couple of days noticed loud noise starts when turn hot water and shower on. Not the pipes banging as heard this before. Any ideas what could be causing it
thanks
 
Do you have open vented hot water with a cylinder you need to heat up before you get hot water- i.e. the old fashioned system, not a combi or an unvented cylinder?
If so the likely culprit is the float valve in your cold water storage tank.
Simple enough job for a plumber if access is OK, not so simple if you're doing it yourself and don't have experience of such things.

Hello, I am seeking some advice, I have a POTTERTON PROMAX 28 COMBI Boiler and I noticed yesterday that the water around the house is no longer warming up. The heat exchanger has been changed 6 months ago, so I do not believe it is that. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be? Thanks
