Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Marple, Stockport

Most homeowners we speak to in Stockport are tired of that giant, dusty cold water tank taking up valuable space in the loft. Traditional 'vented' systems rely on gravity, which is why your upstairs taps often feel so weak. An unvented cylinder, like the popular Megaflo models, connects directly to your water mains. This means you get balanced pressure throughout the entire house. Plus, by removing those old loft tanks, you’re one step closer to that loft conversion you’ve been dreaming about. It's about making your home work smarter for you, not just fixing a plumbing issue.

Are you planning a new ensuite or a second bathroom? A standard boiler often struggles to keep up when two people want a shower at the same time. This is where unvented hot water systems really shine. Because they store a large volume of water at mains pressure, you can run multiple showers and taps at once without anyone getting a cold surprise. It’s the ideal solution for busy family homes in Marple where everyone is rushing to get ready at 7:00 AM. No more shouting down the stairs for someone to turn the kitchen tap off!

Installing an unvented cylinder isn't a job for a DIY enthusiast or a general handyman. Because these systems are under high pressure, they must be installed by someone with a G3 Building Regulations qualification. It’s actually a legal requirement. Our engineers at Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd are fully certified and Gas Safe registered (967977). We handle everything from the installation of the expansion vessel to the proper fitting of the tundish—that's the little safety device that lets you see if the system is discharging water. We take safety seriously so you can enjoy your hot water with total peace of mind.

Even the best systems need a bit of look-after now and then. If you’ve already got an unvented cylinder, it’s vital to have it serviced annually to check the safety valves and the internal pressure. Imagine noticing a small leak or a drop in pressure just before a big weekend—it’s never ideal. We provide thorough water heating maintenance across Marple and the wider Stockport area to catch those niggles before they become expensive headaches. From checking Part G compliance to testing the temperature controls, we ensure your system stays efficient and safe for years to come.
