Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Ramsbottom, Bury

One of the best things about an unvented cylinder installation is the space you get back. Most homeowners we speak to in the North West are looking for ways to maximise their square footage, whether it's for a loft conversion or just more storage. Because an unvented system doesn't need a cold water header tank or an expansion tank in the roof, you can completely clear out that dusty space in the loft. The cylinder itself is a sealed unit that can be tucked away in a cupboard or utility room, keeping everything neat and tidy. It’s a game-changer for anyone planning a bathroom refurbishment or an ensuite installation where you need reliable pressure but don't want to clutter up the attic.

Does your household have a 'one tap at a time' rule? If you're trying to get the kids ready for school while someone else is trying to have a wash, a traditional system just can't keep up. With a mains-fed system like a Megaflo, you get 'balanced pressure'. This means the hot and cold water coming out of your taps is at the same high pressure, so you can run two or three showers at once without anyone getting a cold surprise. Whether you've got a large family home in Bury or you're a landlord managing a multi-occupancy property, this upgrade is one of the most effective ways to modernise your plumbing and keep everyone happy.

Installing an unvented hot water cylinder isn't like fitting a standard radiator; it’s a specialised job that requires a specific legal certification known as G3. Because these cylinders hold water under high pressure, they have to be fitted with various safety components, including an expansion vessel and a 'tundish' (the little plastic funnel that lets you see if the safety valves are working). At Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd, our engineers are fully G3 qualified and Gas Safe registered (967977). We don't just 'fit it and forget it'—we handle the full design, sizing, and commissioning process to ensure your system meets all UK Building Regulations. You wouldn't want someone without the right credentials handling a high-pressure system in your home, would you?

Once your new cylinder is in place, it’s worth keeping it in tip-top shape. Just like your boiler, an unvented cylinder needs an annual service to check the safety valves and ensure the internal air gap or expansion vessel is working correctly. If you've noticed your hot water isn't as hot as it used to be, or if you see water dripping from your external discharge pipe, give us a call. We provide comprehensive cylinder servicing and repairs across Ramsbottom and the surrounding 25-mile radius. We also specialise in wider heating upgrades, from radiator powerflushing to air source heat pump installations, so we can look at your entire system to make sure it's running as efficiently as possible.
