    See video attached. Have hot/cold mixer taps in WC downstairs and also in kitchen. When the hot water side is flowing and the tap is closed the pipes bang. The same problem happens in the kitchen mixer taps. Any idea what's going on? We have Gas heating.

    I can't see any video attached. Sounds like back pressure. Has this always happened?

    From your description it sounds like you have water hammer...check that your pipes are properly clipped and supported

    Sorry only seen these replies now, I tried to attach the video and it failed so I didn't think the thread posted :confused::confused:

    The problem is only happening about 2 months at most. I thought it was weird that the problem started occurring in both kitchen and downstairs WC at the same time. I've checked the pipes and they look ok.
