Expert water heater and hot water cylinder installation — reliable hot water for your home or business, fitted safely and to specification.
Whether your existing water heater has failed, you're upgrading to a more energy-efficient model, or you're installing a new hot water system in a property without one, our qualified plumbers provide a complete, fully compliant installation service. We install all types of water heating systems including unvented hot water cylinders, vented (gravity-fed) cylinders, electric immersion heaters, and point-of-use instantaneous water heaters.
Unvented hot water cylinders (such as Megaflo, Santon, and Gledhill) require installation by a competent person registered with a relevant scheme (such as APHC or CIPHE) under Part G of the Building Regulations. Our engineers hold the required qualifications to carry out these installations legally and safely, providing the mandatory Building Regulations notification on completion.
We begin every installation with a full assessment of your property's hot water demand, mains pressure, and available space. This ensures we specify the correct cylinder capacity and type for your household — avoiding the common mistake of an undersized unit that runs out of hot water during peak morning demand. We advise on the most energy-efficient options and, where applicable, solar-ready cylinders compatible with future renewable upgrades.
All installations include commissioning to the manufacturer's specification, setting of thermostat temperatures to 60°C (to prevent Legionella growth), pressure relief valve testing, and a full handover of the unit's controls and maintenance requirements. We also provide a written record of the installation for your property file.
No hot water is urgent. We prioritise water heater replacements and aim to complete most installations within 1–2 days of your enquiry.
Installations from £300. All costs — labour, materials, and Building Regulations notification — are included in your written fixed-price quote upfront.
Our engineers are qualified to install unvented systems under Part G Building Regulations. We provide full compliance documentation and a workmanship guarantee.

Our engineer surveys the installation location, specifies the correct unit, and provides a detailed fixed-price quote before any work begins.
We install your new water heater, commission it fully, and hand over all documentation. You'll have reliable hot water and peace of mind.
A vented cylinder relies on a cold water storage tank (usually in the loft) and uses gravity to supply hot water. An unvented cylinder connects directly to the mains supply, delivering hot water at mains pressure — giving you a much stronger shower and eliminating the need for a loft tank. Unvented systems require specialist installation under Part G Building Regulations.
A like-for-like cylinder replacement typically takes one full day. A new installation — particularly an unvented system replacing a vented one — may take slightly longer as it involves modifying the pipework configuration. We'll give you an accurate timeframe during your survey.
As a general guide: a 120-litre cylinder suits 1–2 people, 150 litres for 2–3 people, 180–210 litres for 3–4 people, and 250+ litres for larger households. We'll assess your household's peak demand during our survey and recommend the correct capacity to ensure you never run short of hot water.
Unvented hot water cylinders must be installed by a competent person registered under a government-approved scheme and notified to Building Control under Part G of the Building Regulations. We handle this notification as part of our installation service and provide you with the compliance certificate for your records.
Yes. If you're considering solar thermal panels in the future, we can install a twin-coil cylinder now that's pre-configured to accept a solar input — saving you the cost of replacing the cylinder again later. We'll discuss this option during your survey if it's relevant to your property.
