Possible Water hammer problem

    A mate is living in a three storey house which when built had a bedroom in the atttic so I dont think he has cold storage tanks up there but most likely an all in one tank like you see in new apts located on the first floor ,there is also a pump(most likely a neg head)

    House was built approx 3yrs ago and nothing has been changed/installed since then but in the last couple of weeks it would apprear he is getting "water hammer". What would change to cause this?

    I have asked him to try and keep a record of when/where he hears it, ie: if he is using a certain tap/toilet etc.

    Anyone have a similar problem recently and if so did they manage to slove it. Looking for ideas before we go digging, I have read about installing a water hammer damper device/doing things with inlet floats to stop ripples/ changing taps.

    Thanks

    Is there a thermostatic valve on the cylinder in the hot press, if so, remove the actuator from the valve and see if it goes away, the noise would be associated with the heating/DHW being on, have had it a few times not a bad place to start
