Strange pipe securing onto joists

[manorpurl]

Dear all,
After getting fed up with the noisy pipes, i decided to rip open the floorboards and i noticed something unususal. There are 2 places in my house where i notice the "thud","tick tick" noises come from.

When floorboards opened, i notice that the pipes are sitting fine on the cut joist, however to pin them down, the guy (whoever done it) has used nails to secure them onto the joist. ie, the nail is hammered next to the pipe and then bent on top of the pipe. I think this is what causes the tick tick noise.

What can i do to rectify this? Can i use these nail-in pipe clips to secure them properly. Please advise sirs.

yes, nailed clips will help secure it, there also some fabric on the market with can be used under the pipes to stop any noise they would create against the joists

Thank you sir for your quick reply. I presume these types are ok to use then:
Toolstation > Plumbing > Pipe Clips > Talon Nail in Clip

Also, when you said about the fabric, would you know what kind of fabric and where i can possibly get it from?

Thanks once again.

Not sure to be honest, its a hempy style fabric. Lots of things you could improvise with.

Yes they are the clips

'hairy fairy' haha local plumbing merchants stock it mate. its basically insulation but plumbers use it to put under pipes to stop them squeeking.

Nails bent over to hold pipes often wear through the pies in time. I attended a flood in November due to this.

you need a roll of felt to place under the pipes,should have been done when pipework went in on initial installation,available from most plumbing/heatind suppliers.
