Hi got a problem at hand very noisy water hammer in my cold water tank in attic.
I have had a plumber round who has installed a new ball valve part 2 but the noise reappeared shortly after 3 days-plumber has advised this is due to the cold water tank missing a 'Vibration plate'
He is not willing to install it since its not part of his service(thru home insurance) and advised me on how to install it instead.
He has also advised I lagg my pipes around the cold water tank since none of them have that grey insulate foam around them and to get 15mm clips to hold the piping down in the attic.
I could do the above diy myself but I am having issue finding this vibration plate or metal reinforced plate to buy in UK for that matter its like it does not exist on ebay/amazon/google, anyone no where to get one its for a cold water tank ?
