Stored Hot Water

Cylinders Fitted to the Regulations

A hot water cylinder holds a store of heated water, ready for the taps, the bath and the shower. When an old one leaks, runs out too soon or cannot keep up, a new one sized to the household is usually the answer.

Cylinder work sits with the other plumbing jobs we cover across Littleborough, Rochdale and Greater Manchester. Jaque also fits and services the gas boilers that heat them, so one engineer can look at the whole system.

Plenty of older homes still have a cylinder in the airing cupboard and a cold water tank in the loft. Others moved to a combi years ago, and some households now want stored hot water back for a bigger family.

He holds G3, the qualification for unvented hot water systems, so he can fit both vented and unvented cylinders. Every installation comes with our 12-month workmanship guarantee.

A new cylinder is also a good time to look at the controls. A cylinder thermostat and a hot water timer let the water heat only when it is needed.

Replace or Repair?

When an Old Cylinder Has Had Its Day

Some cylinder faults are a simple repair. These are the signs that usually point to a new one instead, and what Jaque would suggest.

SignWhat you noticeWhat Jaque suggests

Leaking Cylinder

Water seeping from the body of the cylinder itself, not from a valve or a pipe joint.

Replacement, as a cylinder that leaks from its body cannot be repaired.

Corrosion or Staining

Green or white crust on the copper, or rust spreading on an older tank.

A closer look, as corrosion on the outside often means wear on the inside too.

Running Out of Hot Water

Hot water runs out before everyone has had a shower, often after the household has grown.

A larger cylinder, sized to how many people live in the house and how they use it.

Weak Pressure Upstairs

Showers and taps on a vented system that barely run on the top floor.

An unvented cylinder at mains pressure, if the incoming supply is strong enough.

Slow to Heat

Water that takes ages to warm up, or is only hot when the immersion heater is on.

The coil, valves and controls checked first, then an honest repair or replace answer.

Noisy Cylinder

Banging, hissing or a rumble like a kettle when the water heats up.

The thermostat, valves and controls checked, as a faulty part can let the water overheat.

I would highly recommend, the engineer, Jague was professional, efficient, and genuinely kind throughout. He quickly diagnosed and fixed the problem with my mum’s boiler to a high standard, and made sure everything was working properly before he left.
What really stood out was how helpful and reassuring he was. He didn’t just do the job and leave – he took the time to make sure my mum was okay and that everything was sorted. It’s rare to find someone so reliable, trustworthy, and caring. Excellent service from start to finish. Thank you!

Laura Thompson

Jaque arrived punctually, he replaced the shower taps quickly and was thorough and very clean and tidied up after himself. Jaque was overall a good energy to hv in the flat which is so important when you have randoms in your house. Punctual, thorough, quoted a good price and was humbly grateful for the tip I gave. Would recommend over and over.

Called JN Solutions on Sunday night as had a leak on my kitchen sink. Water was spraying everywhere.
They helped me out over the phone to shut the water off and then sent an engineer around who sorted the problem that night.
Can't recommend these guys highly enough.
Thanks again

The Choices

Vented or Unvented?

The first decision is the type of cylinder. Here is how each one works and what shapes the choice for a particular home, from the water pressure to the space available.

Vented Cylinder
Fed by a cold water tank in the loft, so the pressure depends on the height of the tank. Simple and quiet, and often a like-for-like swap in the same airing cupboard.
Unvented Cylinder
Fed straight from the mains, giving strong pressure at every tap and shower. It needs safety valves, an expansion vessel and a G3 qualified installer.
Heated by the Boiler
Most cylinders are heated by a coil from the gas boiler, with an immersion heater as a backup in many homes. The boiler must be able to heat a cylinder.
Sized to the Household
The cylinder size is matched to how many people live there and how many baths and showers run at once.
Mains Pressure Checked
Before going unvented, Jaque tests the incoming pressure and flow, as a weak supply will not give the benefit.
Space and Discharge
Unvented cylinders need room for an expansion vessel and a route for the discharge pipe to a safe, visible outlet.

Ongoing Care

Looking After an Unvented Cylinder

An unvented cylinder holds hot water at mains pressure, so its safety devices matter. Temperature and pressure relief valves, an expansion vessel and a discharge pipe to a tundish all play a part.

Most makers ask for a yearly service to keep their warranty valid. A service checks the valves, the expansion vessel and the discharge pipe, and Jaque services unvented cylinders as well as fitting them.

Stored hot water is usually kept at 60°C or above at the cylinder to stop legionella bacteria growing. The thermostat is set and checked when the cylinder is commissioned.

A vented cylinder needs less looking after, but the cold water tank feeding it should have a close-fitting lid. Keep the cupboard around any cylinder clear, so the valves and switches are easy to reach.

If you ever see water running from the tundish, the small funnel near the cylinder, call straight away. It means a safety valve has opened and the system needs checking.

Worth Knowing

Cylinder Questions, Answered

Plain answers on vented and unvented cylinders.

How much does hot water cylinder installation cost in Littleborough?

It depends on the type, the size and how much pipework changes. Jaque gives a free quote for hot water cylinder installation in Littleborough before any work starts.

What is the difference between a vented and an unvented cylinder?

A vented cylinder is fed from a cold water tank in the loft, so its pressure depends on the tank's height. An unvented cylinder runs straight off the mains, giving stronger pressure, and needs extra safety devices.

Do I need a G3 qualified installer for an unvented cylinder?

Yes. Approved Document G expects unvented systems to be fitted by someone with the right skills, such as a holder of a current unvented hot water card. Jaque holds G3, so hot water cylinder installation in Littleborough can cover unvented systems as well as vented ones.

Can I switch from a vented to an unvented cylinder?

Often, yes, if the mains pressure and flow are strong enough and there is a safe route for the discharge pipe. Jaque tests the supply before recommending it.

How often should an unvented cylinder be serviced?

Once a year is the usual advice from cylinder makers, and it is often needed to keep their warranty valid. A service checks the safety valves, the expansion vessel and the discharge pipe.

What workmanship guarantee comes with a new cylinder?

Each cylinder Jaque installs carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee, alongside whatever warranty the maker gives on the cylinder itself.
