Advises
Noisy Boilers
Noisy boilers and pipes
Have you ever turned your fridge off and then realised how noisy it was? The same can be said for our noisy heating pipes. We get used to it, even at night, because the kind of noise that comes from our central heating creeps up on us really slowly.
Is there scale in your pipes?
One reason for noisy pipes is because there is a build up of scale causing little hot steam bubbles which burst periodically. A descaler will soon fix the problem and you can buy one of these from most DIY stores.
- Turn your heating off.
- Add descaler to the expansion tank & feed.
- Then leave it to work
Check you thermostat
Try lowering the temperature. If this quietens the noise you may have a faulty thermostat and will need to call in an engineer.
Water flow
Does your boiler have a good water flow? If it is the middle of winter your pipes could be frozen.
- Turn the heating off and check the water valve is still working
- Check the open safety vent pipe is working correctly: if not, you will need to call an engineer

This is a noise that you need to take heed of. Your pipes will only moan at you if there is something that needs looking at.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO DO IT YOURSELF
