Noisy plumbing

After many years of blissful silence our plumbing has started making low moaning and whining sounds sometimes like a low flying helicopter other times like a spin dryer. The toilet, the shower, everything, with the taps on or off.

Thames Water seem to be all over Dulwich just at the moment. Have they caused it? Anyone else experiencing this strange phenomenon?

Without hearing the noise you're describing, it's difficult to diagnose. We had water hammer in two of our homes over the years. Noisy and a little disconcerting due to the volume in some rooms. If the same ailment applies to the condition of your plumbing then the problem might worsen (eg. increased noise, leaks) so I suggest calling someone in to check soon. There might be a simple remedy. I don't think it's to do with Thames Water.

We're dealing with this too atm but it'll be specific to your house. Plumber says ours is probably a toilet seal that's gone (apparently the noise and vibrations can get through to other appliances/taps). Or you may have air in the system - not hard to fix if you can turn off the water to your house and look up a guide online

      'Foodbank' street collector outside M&S

      I mean good luck to you, but with 4 staff you have still failed to submit your statutory accounts for your two eligible years of operation and are overdue with them this year too. Companies House have taken steps to close you twice. Your annual loss in trading is increasing each year.  You have had two directors resign in 2022 leaving only 1 in place which isn't the best if you want good governance- but that also stops you from being able to raise funds from trusts and foundations.

      Decision 2 April - Proposed Development - The Sidings, Railway Rise, SE22

      There's still a massive shortage of student housing in London regardless of short term fluctuations - just look at how expensive it is now and what a barrier it is to mobility! What are people worried about anyway? That there will be so few students in London that a private landlord has to cut rents and makes lower profits? Oh no! 😂

      Looking for a GP with experience of autoimmune rheumatic diseases

      By Sue · Posted

      This is probably a stupid question, sorry. Could you contact all the surgeries whose catchment area you are in (and haven't already found wanting) and ask them directly if they have GPs with the knowledge and experience you need? Because I imagine there are not many people using this forum who can help, though I may be wrong.

      Lordship Lane Post Office Closure

      By Sue · Posted

      I don't understand this, probably my fault. I thought the Crown offices were going to close completely and the  services they provided were going to be moved to local shops with space for a sub post office. But if the Post Office is  seeking franchisees for the Crown offices, that implies that the offices themselves would stay. But if they are not profitable for the Post Office, how could they become profitable for a franchisee?
