Noisy pipes/radiators

[Phil J]

Help!
Had a combi boiler installed a few months ago, since then have been having 'clicking/creaking' noises from under floorboards and from radiators. It is very difficult to identify where noises are coming from. I have replaced 1 radiator. I also took up floorboards & packed under pipes, etc. This seemed to help for a while, but we are now back to being woken up every morning. Would it be worth replacing some of the copper pipe with plastic?

Stop being so fussy and live with it, you sound like my missis, it's a good sign the heating is working, you would be moaning if the radiators were cold.

check if the rad brackets have the little plastic (1/2 inch long "cussions") that sit on the bracket hooks to prevent metal-metal contact. The clicking could be coming from here when the rads expand.
