[Sir Tigger KC]

I've been getting a house I have ready for new tenants and noticed while cleaning that when turning the cold tap off in the bathroom basin, the pipes under floor are banging. 

So I guess a pipe clip has come loose and the pipes aren't secured as well as they should be?

Exactly how much property do you own, Mr Wealthy?.........

Far more than you do Mr piss poor!   

Fixed that for you.

A man of your means can certainly stretch to a polish plumber.

Is it on just 1 tap or several,could be tap insert needs regreasing or replacing,or as said a clip has come loose.

It does it a bit on the kitchen tap as well but not as bad, so I'll try that first as I don't really want to rip up the carpets and floorboards... 

Thanks!

If its the hot water side and you have a tank in loft or tank and cylinder together could be the ball valve

I thought that this thread would somehow be about a medical issue

Ha ha yes I thought more people would have a look if they thought I had problems with my waterworks!

Commonly known as "pipe hammer" can be a absolute sod to cure. First port of call is to make sure the pipes are firmly secured at short intervals which should cure the problem, if not you will have to dig a little deeper I.E. ballcocks, valves etc.

In that case i would go with removing tap insert,remove circlip,knock the spindle through,unscrew,remove old grease ,then regrease with silicon grease,screw spindle in all the way,insert back into the body,give circlip a quick squeeze together and refit,then test.

Sometimes, air in the system causes this. We bled our system through, and after a load of air came through, hissing and spitting, all was once more quiet
