I have problem with my neighbour. For the last 3 years. I have had banging in my property every time, my neighbour turns on the water. The banging started off quietly, but it has been getting worse over the three year period. She can't hear the banging her side, so isn't so eager to resolve the problem.
To give you some background, we are a detached masonette. She is downstairs and I am upstairs. Whenever she flushes the loo, puts the washing machine on, puts the shower on, it's a loud bang in my bathroom. This goes on all day long, and whenever she uses the water. She has come over and listened to the banging in my bathroom, so she knows how irratating it is for me, but I can't seem to get her to do anything!
She replaced her stopcock which was fixed on high with a new one (that has made no difference) She was advised by British Gas that she couldn't turn her water pressure down as it may damage her old boiler, so she said there was nothing she could do. Then, I found in December, she had had a new boiler fitted in June, (but didn't tell me this) so I have no idea, if she has turned it down. I have explained to her about water hammer, but just acts like I am talking in Japanese when I mention this to her. I have told her to just turn down her water pressure and drain her system, but again it seems as if I may as well be talking to the wall.
I have turned my system off and drained it and reduced the press off my stop cock but it is definitely not coming from my property.
Please can someone help!!!
