noisy pipes??

[alanwheeldon]

the water pipes for my boiler make a horrible tapping/ticking noise and its starting to get to me now. It only happens when the pipes are hot and its constant. Sometimes it starts with a slow ticking then it gradually increases then it will stop for a while.

Is there anything I can do to stop this noise?? I dont mind taking the floor boards up to have a look. It only seems to happen around the bathroom landing area by the way.

Any help would be great, thanks

The noise is coming from where ever the pipes are rubbing, you need to find where.
Not easy

Ive got exactly the same problem and ive had the floorboards up directly where the sound appears to be coming from and i cant locate it anywhere Its driving me mad
So this is a bump for any proffesional advice on locating the source of this kind of noise.
