All sound like the right ideas Doc...... I am having a somewhat break from the situation for I need to get bloody Dyno-rod round here to change toilet innards and i can't take time off work urrrrgh! Funnily enough,isolating the toilet stopped the terrible noise (but not the tap hammer) and...

Quick update everybody..... Engineer on Saturday was waste of time and being referred to big cheif engineeer man from BG next week :shock: Isolating the toilet was an act of genious it actually made a huge difference! The noise levels reduced significantly,I think this shows that isolating...
