Hi all,
When my gas central heating fires up or switches off I get an annoying ticking sound for a couple of minutes, I am sure it is expansion and not from the grooves the radiators sit in as it appears to come from under the floor. The pipe on the system is micro bore. I have a general idea where it is coming from and eventually I am sure it will get the better of me and I will start to try and cure this. I am not too sure of exactly what route the pipes take under the floor, I believe there is one of those `distributor` points near this location where all the pipes come off to the various radiators. (manifold?) Is there a way to confirm this is what it is and is there a way to try and find the exact location before I lift carpets and flooring? Or indeed is there anything I can try to reduce the noise without accessing the pipes?
Its more annoying and irritating than anything else.
thanks
