Noisy pipes!!!

[cpmcclay]

We have lived in our current property for two years and have a problem with noisy pipes in the ceiling. It first happened when we first moved in but over the winter it stopped - only to return this Spring. It has become worse in recent weeks and now the pipes begin to make noise almost as soon as we turn on a tap (sometimes the noise goes by turning taps on and off but not always?!) This evening it took 5 minutes to stop.

We are a ground floor flat and have a combi boiler so do not have a water tank. Any ideas?

Thanks!

What sort of noise, how does it sound.

Is it hot or cold tap that makes pipes noisey?

Thanks for the replies.

The noise is a really loud humming or vibrating and it seems to happen for either tap?

Check valve diaphragm in Bog!!

After investigation it seems that it is the cold that is the problem - particularly when or after the hot is on.

Help please...
