Hot water cylinder and unvented cylinder repair and replacement.
* Estimates only, not a quote — typical figures from recent jobs. Your engineer confirms the exact price before any work starts.
Cold showers and tepid taps are usually a simpler fault than they feel — a failed element, a stuck thermostat or an airlock, not a new system. Our matched engineers diagnose the actual cause and fix it, often in a single visit.
Tell us what type of heater you have and what it's doing — the right answers send the right engineer with the right parts.
Diagnosis: element, thermostat, immersion timer, cylinder and supply checked.
Repair: element and thermostat swaps, immersion switches, airlock clearing.
Cylinder work: unvented cylinder repairs by G3-qualified engineers only.
Safety checks: pressure relief and expansion vessels verified before leaving.
Understand your immersion timer and boost switch — half of 'no hot water' calls are a mystery switch.
Draining a few litres from the cylinder yearly keeps sediment from killing elements.
Lift and reseat the pressure relief valve occasionally so it doesn't seize.
A £20 jacket on an uninsulated cylinder pays for itself in a season.
As a landlord you must keep the property's water, heating, sanitary and drainage systems in good working order and fix them promptly when they fail. You're responsible for structural repairs, the boiler and heating system, plumbing and electrics. Tenants should report faults in writing — and you should respond fast, because a small leak left unattended becomes a big claim.
Under the Health and Safety at Work Act and L8 guidance, landlords must assess and control the risk of Legionella — typically by ensuring water systems are properly maintained, flushing little-used outlets, and keeping records. Showers, dead legs and cold-water tanks are the usual hotspots. Your engineer can advise on a simple written risk assessment.
