Is it normal for radiators to click?

FAQ banner image

It is perfectly normal for domestic radiators to click and creak – it is an occurrence born of the expansion of metal as water flows into the radiator.

Usually, these clicking noises will happen when a central heating system is switched on or off, and should be of no real cause for concern unless the noises begin to audibly alter.
