    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    Thanks. Unfortunately I've not done it as yet. I've asked my landlady if she will come and speak to him. About a week ago the neighbour beneath him came up and almost banged his door down, swearing, telling him to 'f*cking turn your music down' etc. So I don't want to be complaining also...

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    Ok, just adding that since typing this my side neighbour's window is open, so someone is home today. No idea if that was him this morning though, as windows were untouched, car not outside and still looked like he was away then.

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    I didn't come back to this as it's been a crazy week... My side neighbour on the first floor has been away all week, there is a drip, as I say, coming from his outflow pipe directly from the bathroom. While he's been away I've slept well every night, until last night, I got woken at 6am this...

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    Wow, lots of replies. Thanks. I will respond properly when home from work, but re the mirror, that was my mistake. Something else was causing that, can't remember what, but it was nothing to do with the vibration. Environmental Health have refused to just have a chat with the adjoining...

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    You think so? Even though we don't know if there's anything wrong with it and the vibration is happening night and morning (not really inbetween)? If you definitely think so then I will. thanks

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    Update: Somehow got locked out of here, now found my way back in. I posted this (below) on another similar thread - posting here to continue on here: " The vibration happens mainly at night at random times but particularly between 11pm and 2.30am, then again any time from 4.30am to 8am. Been...

    Vibration from leaking stopcock??

    Thanks, I have a thread of my own on this but I got locked out somehow so haven't been here for ages. I will answer you but then post a link here to my own thread, so this one doesn't get messed up... The vibration happens mainly at night at random times but particularly between 11pm and...

    Vibration from leaking stopcock??

    Sorry to bring up an old thread, but wondering if the original poster might see this and be able to let me know if they found out what it was. This could have been me writing this, although I relate more to the feel of vibration under my floor. There is a hum, but it doesn't bother me like the...

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    Something tangible to update you with and a question. Firstly a person from a flat opposite has experienced this type of vibration before and it turned out to be their pressure regulator valve which was located under their bath. They are on the ground floor. I'm on the other side of the block...

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    The plumber last night also saw the photo I took of the steamed up mirror next to the pipe that I mentioned two posts up. It's really frustrating because never in my life before have any of my experiences been questioned. I can imagine that my landlady will speak to the management company for...

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    Yes, a visitor felt it on the rare occasion it happened during the day (a saturday when more people are home, there may be a clue) and the previous tenant downstairs used to tell me about a vibration in her living room, it didn't disturb her in the bedroom, only the living room, but she was...

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    LOL. Well an update. A plumber has come to have a look at the situation. We've discovered that there ARE separate pipes coming from the two side flats (that is my next door neighbour on the first floor and the person beneath him), as well as from my flat and the person's flat beneath me...

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    Thanks Croppie and Unguided1 I'll keep you updated, meanwhile I am wishing and praying that as this has been going on for a year, someone's boiler will break down completely soon.

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    Thanks, but my landlady has now asked me to contact a specific plumber, I'm tied by her choices. Appreciate the offer. The problem is getting neighbour cooperation as it's clear it's not coming from my own water heater, I needed to have a valid reason to approach any neighbour's. I'll not post...

    Unguided1 I'm new to this forum and don't usually give my whereabouts on the internet, what are you thinking/reason for the question, thanks.

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    Dorset. I've noticed the pipe is leaking more now the weather's got colder, and the vibration is worse during the night and at weekends when people are home.

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    on a slightly more positive note, the landlady for downstairs has conceded that a plumber can check her boiler if he thinks it necessary, so we'll see what happens. It may have nothing to do with downstairs, but the leaking pipe suggests a fault in any case (but it's a mystery that there are no...

    Vibration in floor...boiler/water heater?

    I think the knock sound did go back an hour with the clocks, it was happening at around 8 mins past 1am. But it's not consistent enough, like not every night. It was at the start of the year but not now. I'm still reeling from the meeting I had with the landlady for downstairs! She's not the...
