The banging pipes problem ðŸ™„

Hi lads. I'm facing a fairly annoying issue, one run of pipes from the front of the house to the back upstairs bangs so loud it can wake the little ones when the heat hits them and on cool down. Now in my case the house was built in 1979 with no heating and some absolute cowboys (My dad a blocklayer and uncle a welder)…

Hi lads. I'm facing a fairly annoying issue, one run of pipes from the front of the house to the back upstairs bangs so loud it can wake the little ones when the heat hits them and on cool down. Now in my case the house was built in 1979 with no heating and some absolute cowboys (My dad a blocklayer and uncle a welder) ðŸ™„ piped the system at a later date themselves as funds were tight. All in all the did a decent job, even zoned the system. But that one run of pipes is melting my head.
The system is clean and has always had inhibitor in it, magmaclean pro 2 on for the Last two years. One question, could I replace the feed/return on that one section with qualpex? As from what I've been reading this problem rarely seems to be solved by bracing the pipes. I'd like to get rid of the issue not just dampen the noise
