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

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.
This describes how the stored water is heated, rather than whether the cylinder is vented or unvented.
Heat stored water using an internal electric immersion heater or another direct heating arrangement. Often considered where there is no suitable boiler connection.
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.
Our team can discuss your existing system and arrange an assessment before recommending an installation.
Not every hot water problem means you need a new cylinder. These warning signs can help you decide when to arrange a professional inspection.
Water around the cylinder or signs of corrosion can indicate deterioration. The source of a leak should be identified before deciding on replacement.
If your household regularly uses more hot water than the cylinder can supply, a larger or differently specified system may be appropriate.
Fluctuating temperatures may point to a thermostat, heating control or cylinder-related fault. An assessment can identify the cause.
Older cylinders may have poorer insulation or no longer suit the property's hot water requirements. Upgrading can be worth considering.
A loft conversion, additional bathroom or changing household needs may call for a reassessment of cylinder capacity and performance.
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.
From period conversions to larger family homes, properties in Pimlico have different plumbing layouts, space limitations and hot water requirements.
Older converted properties may have restricted cylinder cupboards, established pipework and limited access for new equipment.
Cylinder sizing, available storage space and incoming water supply are particularly important when planning installations in flats.
Homes with several bathrooms may require greater stored hot water capacity and careful consideration of peak demand.
The best hot water cylinder isn't necessarily the largest or most expensive. It needs to work with your property's existing infrastructure.
