Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Hazel Grove, Stockport

If you climb up into your attic, you will likely find a large, dusty cold water tank taking up valuable space. These traditional 'vented' systems rely on gravity to push water down through your pipes, which is why the pressure is often so disappointing. When we install an unvented cylinder, that old tank becomes a thing of the past. Because these modern units take water directly from the mains, they don't need to be tucked away in the roof. This is a total game-changer if you are planning a loft conversion or simply want to reclaim some storage space. Plus, you won't have to worry about pipes freezing in the loft during a harsh Stockport winter.

Working with unvented hot water cylinders is a serious job that requires specialist expertise. Because these systems are under high pressure, they must be installed with specific safety features like expansion vessels and a tundish to manage heat and pressure safely. It is actually a legal requirement under G3 Building Regulations that only qualified engineers carry out this work. At Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd, our team is fully G3 certified and Gas Safe registered (967977). We have seen plenty of 'DIY' attempts gone wrong, and we cannot stress enough how important it is to have a professional handle the job to ensure your home stays safe and your manufacturer's warranty remains valid.

Most homeowners we speak to in Hazel Grove have heard of 'Megaflo'—it is essentially the gold standard for hot water cylinders. Whether we are installing a premium Megaflo unit or another high-quality brand, the result is the same: balanced pressure. This means the hot and cold water arrive at your taps at the same strength, making it much easier to find that perfect temperature in the shower. If you are thinking about one of our bathroom installations or a new ensuite, an unvented cylinder is the perfect partner. It provides that 'power shower' feel without the need for noisy, expensive electric pumps that often rattle the floorboards.

Just like your car or your boiler, an unvented cylinder needs a little bit of TLC to keep it in top shape. Over time, the internal air gap or expansion vessel can lose its charge, which might lead to water dripping from the safety pipes. We recommend an annual safety check-up to ensure all the valves are functioning correctly and the system is operating at peak efficiency.
