Had laminate flooring pulled up in favour of a new carpet being fitted and ever since the central heating pipe exiting the floorboard to the radiator has begun clicking when heating up.
Could well be a coincidence, but I've been back under the carpet to have a look at it appears the pipe is tight up against the bottom edge of the floor board as it goes through and curves (see pic).
I don't really have the DIY skills to start disconnecting CH pipes to make the hole larger, but wondered if anybody could think of a safe way to enlarge the hole while keeping everything intact.

Appreciate the reply! I didn't specify but the bit that rubs is actually in front of the pipe, furthest away from the wall. The pipe goes down vertically fine but bends a bit too early under the board and looks like it catches the edge.
I'm assuming this because the noise is quietened by pushing on the pipe towards the wall when its clicking.
