Not sure who he used to be honest. However, for things like this (tradesmen), I personally use MyHammer.co.uk where you can specify what you want doing, and then you get quotes back from local tradesmen (you can also see reviews/ratings from people that have used them). Hope that helps

If you want tiles as well, yorkshire tiles (bramall lane) do two good package deals that include bathroom suites and tiles. A friend of mine just got one and it looks spot on! http://www.ytc-tiles.com/products/promotion/package-deal.shtml

Hi Cyclone, yeah ive tried to find out where its coming from exactly but without any luck at all. Its almost like the sound is coming through all of the wall (if that makes sense?).

Our house is an ex-council and in the past I think it did have a shared heating system (and shared water supply??). However the row of houses are all now privately owned and each of us has our own heating system and water supply. So not sure if that is what is causing the problem spider1?

Without giving any personal specifics, we live in the South West of Sheffield. PM me if you are interested in the exact location if you are also in the same region. Its strange as some days/nights, although the noise is there, it is bearable and we have got used to it. Where some times, it is loud enough to disturb. When you go outside...perfectly silent!

paul12345678 - Yeah, I would say its definetly loudest in the bedroom and lounge which share the party wall (this may just be a coincidence?) although it can be heard in every room. Actually, there is one room where it is barely noticable at all - we have a lower floor extension which doesnt share any walls with both of our neighbours. Thats another reason why I think the noise is coming from the neighbour with the boiler on the party wall (although I appreciate it might now not be their bolier). jojothecool - ive already tried switching off my distribution board, however, you are right about asking my neighbour to try that as well...I will make this my next step.

I do have a theory that it could be my neighbours bolier, as it is fixed on the party wall. We do hear it 'fire up' but its not a noise that bothers us. This noise is very different and I have read that broken pumps can make a strange noise. However, I believe that their boiler is programmed to start at 7am in the morning and stop at 11pm at night (it doesnt 'fire up' outside of these hours). Therefore, if their boiler is not 'on', is it still possible for the pump to keep running and making a noise?? Also, if it was a broken pump on their boiler - wouldnt they be able to hear the noise in their house? FORE - forgot to add... its def not a street light, ive been outside when the noise is happening inside and I cant hear a thing outside. Its a strange one!

I was hoping someone may also have had this problem in the past and be able to advise me on what the problem could be... Basically, for a few months now we have been hearing a constant low frequency vibrating/humming noise in the house. It started off all of a sudden one day in the early hours of the morning, as it woke both myself and my partner. We thought it was our next door neighbour (we live in a terrace house) turning on an air-con machine or something but I have been round since to ask them if they have any appliances like this turned on and they said no (they are decent people, so have no reason not to believe them). They even said they couldnt hear any vibrating/humming noise in their house when I asked them. Some days/nights, the noise is quieter and bearable, however, other times it can be so loud the noise is over our TV and it also causes sleepless nights. I have unplugged all my electrical appliances and even turned off the Mains board but the noise is still there. Ive done some reading on the internet and this problem does seem to be experienced by a few people, but no one has ever published a solution or cause of the noise. Im going to get an electrician/plumber to come and do some investigating, but before I do, I was wondering if other people have had (or are having) the same problem and if they ever found out what the problem was.
