Reliable Hot Water, Designed Around Your Home

The right cylinder depends on more than capacity. Available space, existing heating equipment, incoming water pressure and the number of bathrooms all influence the most suitable installation.

01

New Cylinder Installations

Vented and unvented hot water systems selected to suit your property's requirements.

02

Hot Water Cylinder Replacement

Replacing ageing, leaking or unsuitable cylinders with appropriately specified alternatives.

03

System Upgrades

Assessing whether a different cylinder type or capacity could better support your hot water needs.

04

Testing & Commissioning

Checking operation and relevant safety controls before handing over the installed system.

Considering an unvented cylinder? We'll need to assess your incoming water supply, available space and installation requirements before recommending the right system.
CHOOSING YOUR HOT WATER SYSTEM

Types of Hot Water Cylinders We Install

Different properties need different hot water systems. Explore the main options before arranging an assessment for your Pimlico home.

MAINS-FED HOT WATER

Unvented Hot Water Cylinders

Unvented cylinders store heated water under pressure and are supplied directly from the incoming mains. They can be a practical option for properties where adequate mains flow and pressure are available.

✓ No separate cold-water storage tank required
✓ Can support multiple hot water outlets
✓ Suitable for many modernised heating systems
✓ Requires appropriate safety controls and installation

Direct vs Indirect Hot Water Cylinders

This describes how the stored water is heated, rather than whether the cylinder is vented or unvented.

01

Direct Cylinders

Heat stored water using an internal electric immersion heater or another direct heating arrangement. Often considered where there is no suitable boiler connection.

02

Indirect Cylinders

Usually heat stored water through a coil connected to a separate heat source, such as a boiler. Some models also include an immersion heater for backup.

Not sure which cylinder your Pimlico property needs?

Our team can discuss your existing system and arrange an assessment before recommending an installation.

Signs Your Hot Water Cylinder May Need Replacing

Not every hot water problem means you need a new cylinder. These warning signs can help you decide when to arrange a professional inspection.

01

Leaks or Visible Corrosion

Water around the cylinder or signs of corrosion can indicate deterioration. The source of a leak should be identified before deciding on replacement.

02

Running Out of Hot Water

If your household regularly uses more hot water than the cylinder can supply, a larger or differently specified system may be appropriate.

03

Inconsistent Water Temperature

Fluctuating temperatures may point to a thermostat, heating control or cylinder-related fault. An assessment can identify the cause.

04

An Ageing or Inefficient Cylinder

Older cylinders may have poorer insulation or no longer suit the property's hot water requirements. Upgrading can be worth considering.

05

Renovations or Extra Bathrooms

A loft conversion, additional bathroom or changing household needs may call for a reassessment of cylinder capacity and performance.

Repair or replace?

A faulty control or component may be repairable. Cylinder replacement is more likely to be considered when the vessel itself is damaged or the system no longer meets your needs.

Safety note: If an unvented cylinder is discharging hot water continuously, or you suspect a serious fault, stop using the system and arrange prompt professional advice. Do not interfere with safety valves.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Hot Water Cylinder Installation FAQs

A few things worth knowing before installing or replacing a hot water cylinder in Pimlico SW1V.

Have another question? Contact us
How long does a hot water cylinder installation take?
A straightforward cylinder replacement may be completed within a day, while installations requiring pipework alterations or system upgrades can take longer. The timeframe depends on your existing setup.
Should I choose a vented or unvented cylinder?
Vented cylinders generally use a cold water storage tank, while unvented cylinders receive water directly from the mains. The right choice depends on your property's water supply, available space and existing heating system.
Can you replace a cylinder in a Pimlico flat?
Yes, cylinder replacement can be possible in flats and converted properties. Available space, access, pipework and any relevant building or leasehold restrictions need to be considered first.
Will a new cylinder improve my hot water pressure?
An appropriately designed unvented system can provide mains-pressure hot water, but performance depends on the incoming mains pressure and flow rate. Replacing a cylinder alone does not guarantee higher pressure.
How much does hot water cylinder installation cost in Pimlico?
Costs depend on the cylinder type and capacity, installation access, existing pipework and whether additional modifications are needed. Contact Keystone London for a quotation based on your property.

Daniel has visited our flats twice, once to deal with a low-pressure water issue and again for a dead washing machine. An appliance engineer had attended before him and left quite a mess, but Daniel was great: straightforward, reliable, and clearly knew what he was doing. Highly recommended.
