Unvented Hot Water Cylinder Installation in Standish, Wigan

Most of us grew up with a big, dusty cold water tank sitting in the loft, feeding a copper cylinder in the airing cupboard. While those old vented systems served us well for decades, they just cannot keep up with the demands of modern Standish life. An unvented cylinder, often referred to by the popular brand name Megaflo, does away with the need for tanks in the roof entirely. Instead, it takes cold water straight from the mains and heats it under pressure. This means you get a 'balanced' system where both your hot and cold water come out with the same satisfying force. Whether you are upgrading your current setup or planning a major refurbishment, we are here to help you choose the right size and model for your household.

Have you ever looked at that massive plastic tank taking up half your loft and thought about what else you could do with that space? One of the best 'hidden' perks of an unvented system is that it frees up your attic. If you are considering a loft conversion in your Standish home, or even if you just want more room for suitcases and Christmas decorations, removing those gravity tanks is a total game-changer. Because the cylinder is fed by the mains, it can be installed almost anywhere in your home, giving you much more flexibility during a renovation. We have helped many neighbours across Wigan tidy up their plumbing and make better use of their floor plans.

Installing an unvented cylinder is not a job for a general handyman. Because these systems hold water under high pressure, they require specialist safety features like expansion vessels and a tundish to safely manage heat and pressure. It is actually a legal requirement that the person installing them holds a G3 Building Regulations qualification. At Redorr Heating & Cooling Services Ltd, our engineers are fully G3 certified and Gas Safe registered (967977). We take safety incredibly seriously, ensuring every installation is commissioned correctly and notified to the local authorities. You can rest easy knowing your home is in the hands of professionals who know exactly what they are doing.

Picture the scene: it is 7:30 am on a Tuesday, the kids are trying to get ready for school, and you have got a big meeting. In a traditional house, this usually leads to a shouting match when the hot water runs out or the pressure drops to a crawl. With a modern unvented cylinder, those days are over. These units are designed to handle multiple bathrooms simultaneously without breaking a sweat. They are also incredibly well-insulated, meaning the water stays hot for much longer, which is great news for your energy bills. We provide bespoke advice to ensure your new cylinder is sized perfectly for your family’s needs, so nobody ever has to endure a cold shower again.
