Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Shaw, Oldham

Ever wonder why some showers feel like a spa day while yours feels like a leaky watering can? The secret is usually an unvented cylinder. Because these systems take water directly from the mains, the pressure is far higher than the old tanks in the roof. This means you get balanced pressure—hot and cold water coming out at the same force. It’s a game-changer if you’re planning a loft conversion or a new ensuite installation, as you won't need to find a spot for a noisy, vibrating pump. We can even install high-performance brands like Megaflo to ensure your water pressure stays consistent even when multiple bathrooms are in use at once.

One of the biggest perks of switching to a modern hot water system is what happens upstairs. When we install an unvented hot water cylinder, we can usually remove that bulky, dusty cold water storage tank from your loft. Not only does this free up valuable storage space—or room for a proper room conversion—but it also removes the risk of a tank freezing or leaking over your ceiling. These modern cylinders are incredibly well-insulated, keeping your water hot for much longer than an old lagged tank. It’s a simple way to improve your home's heating efficiency and keep a lid on those monthly energy bills.

Dealing with high-pressure hot water isn't a DIY job or something for an unqualified handyman. It's actually a legal requirement that anyone installing or maintaining these systems holds a G3 qualification. Because these cylinders operate under high pressure, they need specific safety features, like a properly sized expansion vessel and a tundish—that little visible discharge point that lets you see if the system is venting. At Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd, our team is fully certified and Gas Safe registered (967977). We handle the entire process, from the initial design and pipework to the final commissioning and ensuring everything meets Part G of the building regulations.
