We are not overfussy.
The previous heating system made no expansion/contraction noise.
I used to be a techno DJ so i'm not sensitive to noise. Probably tone deaf.
There should be no noise coming from the rads. but they all sound like boiling kettles. We are not after compensation. Just the product they sold us.
Looks like we'll take them to the cleaners then.
I've kicked off legal proceedings.
Wish us luck.

Copper pipeing does transmit noise more than plastic and if tight in joists etc will creak and click a lot, I would have to hear the noises for myself to know whether it is normal and you are being overussy or the noise is excessive and you have a legit complaint.
I have had a couple of customers one now an ex customer, as I have refused to do anymore work for one them, one complains about a drone from the boiler fan but hasn't decided to replace it yet, (sounds fine to me) he has a problem with any sort of noise, apparantly had the dishwasher people back over what he thought was a noise, another customer insisted transco replaced the gas meter as he reckoned he could hear it making a noise, then he reckoned he could hear the new one and packed it in polystyrene, (I dont go to them anymore), they also have 6 bins and recycle there nose hairs are vegitarians and think burglars are fictional characters, thing is, different people have different ideas as to what is noise and what isn't, another one of my customers used to live next door to the railway line, so when they had a combi in the bedroom cupboard whirring away it didn't even register on their ears to them.

Questions to be asked-

1. Have you had CH before and is it noisier than the your old system.
2. Are you customers from hell and find something wrong with everything you have done, double glazing, patio, blockpaved drive, new car, new suite, etc etc. be honest with yourseves.
3. Are you sensetive to noise in general, kids from the estate, radio, TV, ticking clock etc etc.
4. Are you after some money off and do this with everything, restuarant, cloths shops, etc etc
5. Are your eyes to close together like GW. Bush, do your eyebrows meet in the middle, do have the git gene etc.

If none of the above apply and BG have made a pigs ear of your CH take them to the cleaners with my blessing.

Be interesting to know what Glowworm made of it when they came to see it.

 

[PEDANTICVINDICTIVEMAN]

Yea what did Glowworm say, did they charge 50p a minute like they do with their tech line ?

What about your eyes being to close together and eyebrows meeting in the middle
