Hi, could someone point me in the right direction with this problem?
I have 5 radiators upstairs in my house. A boiler upstairs that feeds the radiators directly. Every morning when the bolier starts up there is a clicking\\\\tapping noise that comes from the two radiators in my bedroom, but doesnt seem to affect the other radiators upstairs. This noise gradually gets louder (its a great alarm clock)and then begins to peter out. I assume its due to cold pipes/radiators expanding when they become hot, but isnt a \\\'tapping\\\' noise unusual for it to be this? Each of the affected radiators makes its own tapping noise - it doesnt seem to be the same noise reverberating through both rads. Someone please give me some advice! (apart from turning the radiators off, which works, but has the side affect of giving me frostbite in the morning!) Any ideas greatly appreciated.
Steve
