Noisy Pipes

[Southsea]

Help! Everytime I flush upstairs loo the pipes make an awful noise, any ideas as to what I can do

Could be pipes need clipping properly, ball valve in cistern needs attention / renewal or lower your pressure by closing the stoptap little by little

 

[Southsea]

Thank you, will try these solutions.

make sure the bracing screw on the ballvalve is touching the side of the cistern if its bottom entry

One other thing I should have mentioned is that when you turn on the cold water tap and let it run for a while which is next to the toilet the toilet it gets rid of the noise

 

[Bahco]

It sounds very much like your supply upstairs is fed from the cistern in the loft. Renew the ball valve and float (high pressure part 2 should only cost £3) and this should cure

Thanks for the prompt reply but we do not have a cistern, the hot water comes through the mains directly through the boiler which is downstairs

A new washer or replace ballvalve and float in the toilet cistern should sort things.

Thank you, will let you know how it goes
