pps Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 as said sounds like air in the system do the rads get hot all over if air in there the top will be cooler than the rest of the rad .

lpool Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 Could also be weak bladder syndrome if they are flushing the toilet in the night. May be a need to change the ballcock on the toilet syphon.

KidKruger Posted January 16, 2015 Share Posted January 16, 2015 If it's intermittent on hot / cold water pipes to taps it could be that they're not secured properly and it caused the banging.Just cured this in my house after 4 annoying years !
