The board is now under the bath so it wouldn't be possible without taking the bath out again. Even 3mm ply would be useless after a few inches but we could try that. Would wood filler work for the rest, sealed with a pva solution? I appreciate that whatever we put down will be a pain if we ever...

We recently had our bathroom redone, when the shower tray was removed it had been sitting on the joists so the bathroom guy covered them with wood. Unfortunately we have a 3 inch by 15 inch bit that is lower than the rest of the wood floor, and it slopes from one end to the other (a gentle slope...

Right, I keep having the motorised pump valve thingy attached to my hot water cylinder buzzing. Its going through the night when the system is off, and is keeping my 14 month old son awake as the airing cupboard is in his room. I know its the valve - already had help finding that one out! But...

Wahoo! I've found the source of my buzzing/humming noise; and you were both right, it was the motorised valve thingy after all. It is doing it now; only just come home so the house was noise free for a change and heard it. I've gone up and pressing on the metal casing for the valve, and the...

Thanks, that's what John suggested I try as well. Will just have to wait for the weird noise to start up again! I'll let you know how it goes...

Immersion was off last night as well as the boiler and it still made the noise. The buzzing/humming noise goes on all through the night, even when we don't use the toilet/taps. I'm never sure when it starts but the other night I noticed it at half 8 (boiler etc went off at 8) and it went on...

Yes for the rattling noise - as soon as I went upstairs and looked it was obvious where it was coming from, simply by knowing where to look and listen! Ref the humming noise that happens, I will have to wait and see - it only happens on a night when the system is off, and not every night...

Yes!! I have one of those; at least I know what is rattling now. I take it they rattle normally? What I mean is; is it faulty with it rattling, or is that pretty standard? One mystery solved... Kelly

Thankfully the noise (the buzzing not the rattling) isnt there all the time, as its REALLY loud! I know it isn't because it's only every now and again that its there on a night time, not every night. Thats whats so confusing! The rattling is there everytime the boiler fires up so I just...

Haha, sneak up on it - I like that! Will give it a try tonight. Heating is definately on at the minute as we have snow! You said yesterday that most people have their cylinder therms on at around 60; am I causing any harm by having it on at 35? Thats what it was set at when I moved in and...

Yes there is - no idea what its for though! The cable runs to a plastic...its like a light switch box only flatter and bigger and there's no switches on it. Kelly :?

Not sure how to explain it, but when the cylinder fires up I hear a...erm...its almost a metallic rattle, but not quite... Its as if two metals spoons are very gently rattling together. I've felt everything and nothing ever seems to be vibrating and the noise never goes away whilst hot...

Right, me again. It made that noise last night so I turned the immersion off, didn't make a difference unfortunately. Any other ideas? :(

I'll give it a try next time the noise starts. If I therefore turn it off, I'll still get all my hot water etc, yeah? The thermostat on the side of the cylinder is only set to 35 anyway! Sorry, I'm useless at this sorta thing. When would I possibly need to boost the system, or can I just...

Ahh, gotcha. Yep, we have one of those, and yes it is switched on. Just assumed it had to be. Is that what's making the noise?

Sorry, going to sound really dumb: how can I find out? Not sure what I'm looking for...

My hot water tank has started emitting a horrible humming/buzzing noise, but it does it through the night (not heard it through the day yet) when both the hot water and heating are off. It's in my son's bedroom so am a little worried that it could be leading to something dangerous. It's a...
