Hi all i'm looking for a bit of advice,i turned the water off at the stopcock to sort a dripping bath tap and since i've turned it back on i'm getting a vibration from somewhere even when the taps/CH are off, but when i get the vibration when the CH is on the vibration goes when i turn the hot tap on.
Up to now i've tried opening the stopcock fully and having it half open.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks in advance.
 
This is often cause by a worn loose Jumper in the stopcock by closing it and opening it , when you operate a tap the jumper is banging sending vibrations through your cold main supply pipework and around the house it will need replacing a short term fix is close the valve to the minium you can . cheers kop

Ideal Logic 24, Previous problem was that the hot water was only cold or barely warm if the heating was in use. If heating was off and boiler cold then would get hot water most of the time. Changing the flow cartridge about 2 years ago (when I moved in) solved this problem enough to suffer it as...
