Knocking in pipes ? New fan.
Did he explain how the fan could cause knocking noises in the pipework ?
What kind of knocking ? could is just be expansion, pipes rubbing and vibrating against other pipes/floorboards/joists.
If no then it could be kettling - likely if the boiler was fitted to old rads and pipework withoug flushing. No inhibitor added etc
Radiator valves ? can cause knocking noises, when the noise appears try opening and closing valves to see if the noise stops.
