Spinny Posted 4 hours ago Posted 4 hours ago So every time the heating comes on we get pipes creaking under the landing and bathroom. Doubtless this is the copper pipes used in this part of the house expanding as the hot water heats them up. So what is the best fix for this ? I think maybe there is some kind of plumbers felt which can be slid under the pipes where they contact the joists to take away the friction ?

Or running system at a long steady temp (lower), so the pipes expand and contract less often
