We just got an extension which is primarily wood based with tiles on the roof. The problem is that there are loud bangs or "pops" on a regular basis. Some light sleepers have been been woken by the random noises.
I've googled and it suggests that it's either new wood settling or changes in temp. I don't think it can be the second in this weather (mild Spring weather where we are). The new wood theory suggests that it settles within a year.
We used a very reputable builder although things were strained at the end for unrelated reasons.
Has anyone had a similar problem?
