Most of that run is only water etc from the kitchen, only the last 500mm, where the toilet flush enters the pipework

Just to add, this pipework is under a concrete path

Hi Have had a camera along the drain from inspection chamber to back of house drain that the roof and kitchen feed into and there seems to be a negative flow from about 3 meters from that drain that is only carrying water etc from kitchen, has per youtube vid attached, it is mainly due to some...

Yeh, built 1964, yes, you are right , best to remove part of the path in question , which is around 6 Mtr and 3 Mtr round the corner , I did a cut into it awhile back with my Stihl saw and it cut down full cut of new blade , still solid concrete !. So I think I will do some cuts along the path...

Pipes Clang ( don't know if it is the valve banging !) when the Boiler fires up first thing in a morning for HW !.

When the heating is shut down on a night and there is no power to the Actuator, the spring will pull the valve back to the HW position, that is the default setting ( HW prority ) !.

I don’t put the HW on, when the boiler fires up first thing in a morning the valve is already open for HW !

It happens ( The clanging ) first thing on a morning, when the boiler fires up for Hot water !
