    Loud pipes!

    Just to be really awkward we don't have a storage tank! It's a Victorian house and the water comes straight from the rising main I've now discovered! Thanks for persevering...anything else worth trying? (other than a set of ear plugs!)

    Everytime I turn off a cold water tap (or when the toilet cistern has filled) there is a loud banging noise from the pipes under the floorboards. Is this likely to be air in the system? Its driving me mad!! Any suggestions welcome! :x

    Shower downlighters and the 'mouse-trap' clips!

    I'm trying to fit downlighters into a 9.5mm plasterboard ceiling. The clips are very strong and I'm struggling to get them in without destroying the hole! Any tips on how I might strengthen the hole in the plasterboard....have so far practically severed a finger on the spring clip. Thanks
