Cylinder repairs, maintenance and replacement planning

Identify the source of the problem

No hot water, poor recovery and visible discharge can have different causes. We assess the cylinder type, heat source, controls and accessible safety devices. A leak from a connection requires a different solution from a leaking cylinder body.

Vented and unvented systems

Tell us the cylinder make and model when booking. Unvented work requires suitable competence and attention to its safety controls and discharge arrangement. Do not block a discharge pipe or tamper with a safety valve.

Choosing a replacement

Capacity, household demand, available space, heat source and access all affect the specification. Your quotation should explain the proposed cylinder, associated controls and pipework, removal and commissioning.

Common questions

Useful answers

Yes. Our qualified team holds G3 unvented hot-water competence for work on these systems.

Can a leaking cylinder be repaired?

A leaking valve or connection may be repairable. A leaking cylinder body normally requires replacement after the source is confirmed.
