Default Dripping noise

Since we started using the central heating again a couple of weeks ago,
when the heating is on I can hear a dripping noise when sat in the lounge.
The noise appears to be coming from the ceiling, probably where central
heating pipes run. So far there is no water mark on the ceiling and I
can't feel anything damp but the dripping noise can be quite rapid at
times and then slow down for a while.

Is it likely to be a leak or could it just be expansion?

Thanks

John

That's what happens when things heat up and expand! Nothing to be concerned
about unless you notice a mark on the cieling - then get the lifeboat ready.
I have an electrically operated valve on one pipe and it bangs shut which is
quite alarming.
