Worcester 28i vibrating pipes

[tpagr8]

Morning all,

My Worcester 28i has developed a noisy vibrating noise that sounds like it is coming from the pipes near the boiler. It seems to happen 20 minutes after the boiler has fired up. The noise sounds like the pipe shaking and lasts for 30 seconds or so then subsides. it comes back after another 20 minutes. The boiler seems to be running a little noisier than it used to with a humming sound but other than that no obvious problems. Heating and hot water fine. I can't understand the intermittent nature of it but is becoming very annoying and presumably could be the forerunner of something serious going wrong.

Has anyone any ideas?

Thanks

sludge build up causing kettling

Thanks for that, does that mean a power flush is only solution?
