Help please!
Just installed 2 x new taps in upstairs bathroom.
Turn on hot tap, it dribbles for a bit as you open the tap, then fires out full pressure. Try to turn it down a bit and get the really loud repetitive banging on the pipes until I either turn tap full open or off. During the banging the water is spluttering out the tap at a fairly fast rate.
I have tried all the usual tricks thinking it was an airlock to no avail, including connecting a hose up from the mains. Actually that worked for a day or so but the dreaded banging returned.
We have very high water pressure, but no problems before changing taps. On a Worcester combi boiler, no tank.
Any help very gratefully received.
