My brother in law has a toilet which in his words "screeches" when flushed. I presume he means the pipework to the cistern is making the racket when refilling. If he turns the bath taps on in the same bathroom at the same time it doesn't happen. Any idea's?

We had our house modernised a few years ago and all went well. We had a new extension with utility room and cloakroom; new kitchen and new bathroom.
After about a year we began noticing a loud thud when the sink taps were turned off after use. We still get this noise, which also happens when the...

Need some advice. I have a gravity fed boiler and about a month ago now have started getting noise in the pipes. It's not a banging but more of a trickling noise. If i turn the hot water and heating off then it disappears. When i turn it back on it starts immediately. The circulating...

When I returned home I realised that the oil had run out. I've since bought more oil but the...

Hello!

I live in a basement flat of an old terraced house and the plumbing is quite noisy, it's not a banging of any sort, it's just a very loud hissing. Whenever the lady upstairs turns on her tap I can hear water flowing...
