Chain slapping

Recently had my number one road bike serviced at lbs prior to summer(?) 'season' and had rear cassette changed and longer rear mech fitted in a hope it'll give me a better chance at climbing those bloomin hill things :lol: First ride, pro service the chain was slapping against chain stay, mainly in big ring settings. Took it back and was told about a 'spring' that was weak, adjustments made and told there should be no more probs. On the whole there isn't but occasionally I'm still getting a bit of slap, large ring - small gear. Any thoughts as to what might be causing this minor inconvenience and how it might be rectified? Many thanks.

    I would check the chain length as a starting point.

    Sounds like the chain is too long and doesnt have enough tension.
