Hot Water Problems? Get Them Fixed Properly.
No hot water. Water leaking from your cylinder. Low pressure. Strange noises. Expansion vessel faults. Relief valve discharge.
These aren’t problems to ignore.
A fault with an unvented hot water cylinder can quickly become more expensive if left unresolved. Regular servicing and prompt repairs help protect your hot water supply, improve reliability and identify worn components before they fail.
As a G3-certified plumber, I carry out professional servicing, fault diagnosis, repairs and replacement of unvented hot water cylinders throughout South Birmingham.
Cylinder servicing
Annual Hot Water Cylinder Servicing
Like a car, your hot water cylinder benefits from regular servicing.
A service helps check that key safety devices are operating correctly, identifies worn components and helps keep your system working efficiently.
Typical checks include:
- Temperature and pressure relief valve
- Expansion relief valve
- Expansion vessel charge
- Tundish inspection
- Thermostat operation
- Immersion heater checks
- Pressure reducing valve
- Pipework inspection
- Visual inspection for corrosion or leaks
Hot Water Cylinder Repairs
Many faults can be repaired without replacing the entire cylinder.
Common repairs include:
- No hot water
- Leaking expansion vessels
- Faulty immersion heaters
- Failed thermostats
- Pressure reducing valve faults
- Constant water discharge
- Tundish dripping
- Internal leaks
- Temperature issues
- Flow problems
Every repair starts with fault finding so the cause is identified before parts are replaced.
New Cylinder Installation
Need a Replacement?
If your cylinder has reached the end of its life or has suffered an internal failure, replacement may be the safest and most cost-effective option.
I install quality unvented cylinders that comply with current regulations, with careful attention to pipework, controls and commissioning.
The aim is to leave you with a reliable hot water system and the confidence that it has been installed correctly.

You’re Not Just Hiring a Plumber. You’re Buying Peace of Mind.
Most people don’t think about their plumbing until something goes wrong.
