Hi Johanna May be air in the system. I would try and bleed the radiators when the heating is off. If it is a combi boiler (pressurised) you will need to top up the pressure to just over 1 bar. If it is gravity fed (conventional boiler) you will not have to top up any pressure. Sam (eps)

hi Johanna don't be too concerned, the noise you are hearing is the radiator (metal ) expanding with the heat. this is quite a common sound. see if you can pinpoint it as the rad heats up. you may find that giving it a gentle tap at that point will solve it.it is usually where one part of the rad i.e side shield, is expanding away from the main body, or vise versa. another possible cause is pipe work expanding that is too tight in its positioning. its annoying, but persevere and you will solve it
