very noisy pipes whenever we use hot water

    We moved into a newly renovated house last year with gas central heating and a solar panel for heating water on the roof.

    During last winter we found that one of our rads was cold on one side so I looked online and figured out how to bleed them. Released some air and fixed it temporarily. Haven't used the heaters for months now but the last time it did have a "cold side" again.

    Most recently though our pipes have been making noise whenever we use hot water. After doing the washing up tonight they were woefully loud!

    loud.

    even louder.

    What's going wrong? Is this an easy fix?

    First question first:
    ...one of our rads was cold on one side....

    If radiators show an uneven temperature the heating system propably have to be adjusted.

    Get a heating engineer in. Noise from the pipes can mean a lot.Overheating, flow restriction, expansion-contraction etc....

    To me it sounds like a pump running dry, you need to check if there is enough water in the heating system.
