Hot water cylinder installation, repairs and servicing

Whitfield Plumbing, Heating & Cooling installs, repairs and services domestic hot water cylinders and pressurised hot water systems across Shropshire, Staffordshire, Cheshire and surrounding areas.

Whether you’re replacing an ageing copper cylinder, upgrading a low-pressure hot water system or looking for a new unvented cylinder, our engineers can assess your existing setup and recommend a suitable solution.

We work with traditional gravity-fed hot water cylinders and modern unvented pressurised systems, including cylinders connected to compatible gas, oil and other heating arrangements.

Established in 2013, Whitfield is a family-run company focused on reliable workmanship, clear advice and treating your home with care.

Unvented pressurised hot water cylinders

An unvented hot water cylinder stores heated water and supplies it directly from the mains, without relying on a traditional cold-water storage tank in the loft.

Where the incoming mains supply is suitable, an unvented system can deliver strong, consistent hot water performance throughout the property. This can be particularly useful in homes with multiple bathrooms, powerful mixer showers or higher hot water demand.

A correctly designed system may support two or more showers running simultaneously, although actual performance depends on the property’s incoming water pressure, flow rate, pipework and hot water cylinder capacity.

Whitfield can assess your current water supply and heating arrangements before recommending an appropriate cylinder size and system configuration. We also install, repair and service existing unvented hot water cylinders.

Gravity-fed cylinders and hot water system upgrades

Many older properties use a traditional gravity-fed hot water system. These usually feature a copper hot water cylinder supplied by a cold-water storage tank, often located in the loft.

Gravity-fed systems can provide reliable hot water, but pressure at showers and taps may be limited by the height of the storage tank and the existing pipework.

Depending on your property, we can discuss several options for maintaining or improving your hot water system:

Gravity-fed cylinder replacement: Replacing an ageing or faulty hot water cylinder while retaining a suitable existing system.
Unvented cylinder installation: Upgrading to a mains-pressure hot water system where the water supply and property are suitable.
Pressurised hot water upgrades: Assessing your existing system and recommending improvements to hot water delivery.
Hot water cylinder repairs: Diagnosing faults affecting hot water performance, heating or cylinder components.
Hot water cylinder servicing: Inspection and servicing of applicable safety devices, controls and system components.

Upgrading to an unvented cylinder can improve the experience of using showers and hot water outlets, but it does not automatically guarantee higher pressure or flow. Our engineers will assess the incoming mains supply and check whether existing taps, showers and pipework are suitable before recommending a conversion.
