Unvented hot water in North London

If you are tired of weak water pressure in your shower or waiting ages for the hot water to reach your taps, an unvented hot water cylinder could be the perfect solution. Julian Paul Plumbing & Heating specialises in the installation, servicing, and repair of unvented hot water systems for homes across North London, delivering mains-pressure hot water to every outlet in your property.

Unlike traditional vented (gravity-fed) systems that rely on a cold water tank in the loft, unvented cylinders are connected directly to the mains water supply. This means they deliver hot water at mains pressure, giving you a powerful, consistent flow from every tap and shower in your home. This is particularly beneficial for properties with multiple bathrooms, where maintaining good water pressure is essential.

Our engineers are fully G3 qualified, which is the specific certification required by Building Regulations for working on unvented hot water systems. This ensures that your installation is carried out safely and in full compliance with all relevant regulations. We install leading brands including Megaflo, Heatrae Sadia, and Gledhill, and we will recommend the right cylinder size based on your household's hot water demand.

We also provide annual servicing for unvented cylinders, which is essential to maintain safety and efficiency. During a service, we check the temperature and pressure relief valves, the expansion vessel, and all safety controls to ensure everything is functioning correctly. Regular servicing not only keeps your system safe but also extends its lifespan and ensures you continue to enjoy reliable, high-pressure hot water for years to come.

Common questions

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between vented and unvented hot water?
A vented system uses a cold water tank in the loft and relies on gravity to deliver hot water, resulting in lower pressure. An unvented system connects directly to the mains, delivering hot water at full mains pressure for a much more powerful flow at all outlets.
Do unvented cylinders need annual servicing?
Yes, it is strongly recommended and often required by the manufacturer’s warranty. Annual servicing includes checking safety valves, the expansion vessel, and temperature controls. This ensures the system remains safe and operates efficiently.
What size unvented cylinder do I need?
The right size depends on the number of bathrooms and occupants in your home. As a guide, a 150-litre cylinder suits a home with one bathroom, 200 litres for two bathrooms, and 250+ litres for three or more. We will assess your needs during the free survey.
Can I replace my vented system with an unvented cylinder?
Yes, upgrading from a vented to an unvented system is a common and very worthwhile improvement. It eliminates the need for a loft tank, frees up space, and dramatically improves water pressure throughout your home. We handle the full conversion process.
