ill start again . right, ive got a glowworm combi boiler which is under the stairs, and for the past few weeks u can hear a hum hum hum hum noise when stood on the stairs.
When u listen to the boiler u can hear it faintly.
plummer came the other day checked rads upstairs for air and they fine.
says its pump, everything working fine heating and water and that.
so he said it could have just started to be noisey or cud be the cold weather.
just wanted to no if this sounded right.

I know what mle means.
If your plumber doesn't think there's a fault, maybe it's just old? Have a look and see if it's got a tiny adjusting knob (speeds 1, 2, 3) and turn it to run slower. This might help with the noise, though at lower speed it may not have enough power to run all the radiators adequately. You can always turn it back up later.
Are any of the pipes vibrating near the pump? If you grab them with a gloved hand does it muffle the noise?
But your local plumber had the advantage of seeing the prob, so he's got quite a fair chance of being right. It's not unusual to hear the CH running if you listen for it. Like a fridge.
