Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Shotton, Flintshire

Most homeowners we speak to in Shotton are looking for two things: better performance and more space. When we install an unvented cylinder (often referred to by the popular brand name Megaflo), we can usually remove the bulky cold water storage tank from your loft entirely. If you’re planning a loft conversion or just want to reclaim some storage space, this is the perfect solution.

Here is why making the switch makes sense:

• Balanced pressure: Because the system is mains-fed, your hot and cold water arrive at the tap with the same force. No more fiddling with the mixer for ten minutes.
• Multiple bathrooms: You can run two or three showers at once without anyone getting a cold shock.
• Energy efficiency: Modern cylinders are wrapped in high-grade insulation. This means the water stays hot for much longer, which is a big win for your energy bills.
• Flexible location: Since it doesn’t need a tank above it, we can often install the cylinder in a more convenient spot, like a garage or a utility room.

Now, here is the really important bit. Because unvented cylinders are sealed systems under high pressure, they have strict safety requirements. It isn't just a recommendation; it’s a legal requirement under Part G of the Building Regulations that these systems are installed and maintained by someone with a G3 qualification.

Our team at Redorr consists of highly trained Flintshire heating engineers who hold this specific certification. We don’t cut corners. When we perform an unvented hot water cylinder installation, we ensure every safety feature is perfect—from the expansion vessel that manages pressure to the tundish (the little plastic funnel that lets you see if the safety valves are discharging). As a Gas Safe registered company (967977) with £10 million in public liability insurance, we give you total peace of mind that your home is in safe hands.

Maybe you already have an unvented system, but it hasn't been performing quite right lately? Perhaps you've noticed water dripping from the discharge pipe or the pressure just isn't what it used to be. Don't wait for a small niggle to turn into a major leak. We provide prompt cylinder repairs across Shotton and the wider North West to get things back to normal quickly.

Just like your boiler, these cylinders need an annual check-up to stay within their manufacturer’s warranty and, more importantly, to ensure the safety valves are working correctly. Our maintenance visits are thorough but efficient, checking the internal air gaps and testing all the temperature and pressure relief components. We’re local, we’re reliable, and we’re just a phone call away.
