Unvented Cylinder & Megaflo Installation, Servicing, and Repair in London

At Lasting Ltd, we specialise in unvented cylinder & Megaflo installation, servicing, and repair across London. Our expert, Gas Safe-certified engineers ensure your home enjoys consistent and high-pressure hot water, offering long-term solutions for your heating and hot water needs. Whether you need an unvented cylinder installed in a new build or require a repair on your existing Megaflo system, we have the experience to handle it all.

Common Unvented Cylinder Problems We Repair

Water Dripping from the Expansion Pipe

This issue is commonly caused by the expansion vessel pressure being too low or the water temperature being too high, which forces the water to expand and leak from the pipe. Our engineers will check and adjust the expansion vessel’s pressure to restore the system’s balance and prevent further leaks.

Low-Pressure Leaking Shower

Low pressure may be caused by a buildup of limescale or a problem with the cold water supply to the cylinder, affecting the shower’s performance. Our engineers will diagnose the issue and provide a thorough cleaning of the cylinder and components to restore optimal water pressure.

Clogged Inlets and Inconsistent Water Flow

Blockages in the inlets, often caused by debris or limescale, can disrupt water flow, leading to inconsistent hot water delivery. We will clean or replace the affected parts to restore proper flow and consistency in water temperature.

Limescale Damage

Hard water in areas like London often leads to limescale buildup, which can damage the internal components of the cylinder, affecting both efficiency and lifespan. We provide professional descaling services and preventative maintenance to protect your system from limescale-related issues.

Leakages from the Combination Valve

A faulty or worn-out combination valve can lead to leaks, which may occur due to age, pressure issues, or scale buildup within the valve. We will inspect, repair, or replace the valve to ensure the cylinder is functioning properly and securely.

Strange Noises from the Vessel

Gurgling or whistling noises typically indicate a buildup of air or limescale within the system, which prevents smooth water flow. We will remove airlocks, flush the system, and remove any scale to ensure the cylinder operates quietly and efficiently.

General Leaks and Corrosion

Leaks and corrosion can result from prolonged use, system wear, or improper installation, compromising the integrity of the unvented cylinder. Our skilled engineers will identify and replace any damaged parts, ensuring your system is safe and operational.

Difficulties Setting and Maintaining the Right Temperature

A malfunctioning thermostat or faulty sensor may cause difficulties in maintaining the desired water temperature. Our engineers will inspect and repair the thermostat, ensuring your cylinder maintains the correct temperature efficiently.

Unvented Hot Water Cylinder and Megaflo Installation Service in London

At Lasting Ltd, we provide expert unvented hot water cylinders and Megaflo installation services throughout London, ensuring you have a consistent, high-pressure hot water supply in your home. Unvented systems are gaining popularity due to their ability to deliver high water pressure directly from the mains, offering reliable and efficient heating solutions for households of all sizes.

Unlike traditional systems with tanks, an unvented cylinder is connected directly to the mains water supply, allowing for higher pressure and improved water flow. This means that you get more consistent hot water throughout your home, making your shower experience, bath filling, and kitchen tasks much more efficient.

Moreover, unvented cylinders are quieter than traditional systems, eliminating the gurgling sounds often heard with older systems when water tanks refill slowly. Additionally, these systems reduce the risk of pipes freezing during colder months, as their water pipes are built into the loft.

At My Plumber, we offer installation, maintenance, and repair services for all types of unvented hot water cylinders, including Megaflo. Our engineers are equipped to install both direct electric immersion tanks and indirect gas-powered cylinders. If you’re considering replacing your hot water system, it’s important to consult with us first, as each home has unique needs. Our expert technician will visit your property to assess your requirements and recommend the best solution tailored to your specific needs.

Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve Testing

We test the temperature/pressure relief valve to confirm it opens, closes, and reseals correctly, preventing dangerous pressure buildup.

Pressure Check
