What We Fix

Common Hot Water Cylinder Emergencies We Attend

Our emergency engineers attend all types of urgent hot water cylinder problems across London — 24 hours a day, every day of the year. No matter the time, our G3 qualified engineers are ready to be dispatched immediately. All emergency work is carried out at a fixed price agreed before we start.

⚠️ If you smell gas — do not call us first. Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 immediately and leave the property. Once safe, we can attend to any resulting plumbing work.

Leaking cylinder body or connections

Water escaping from the cylinder itself, a failed joint, or the connections to surrounding pipework.

No hot water at all

Total loss of hot water — often caused by a failed immersion element, thermostat or internal fault.

Discharge pipe running continuously

A continuously running T&P or pressure relief discharge pipe indicates an unsafe pressure condition requiring immediate attention.

Rusty or discoloured hot water

Brown or reddish hot water indicates internal corrosion — the cylinder is deteriorating and poses health risks.

Burst cold water storage tank

A split or burst loft cold water tank causing flooding into the ceiling or down through the property.

Cylinder beyond repair

An old or irreparable cylinder needing same or next-day emergency replacement to restore hot water.

While You Wait

What to Do in a Hot Water Cylinder Emergency

Taking these steps immediately can reduce water damage to your property significantly while you wait for our engineer.

Turn off the water supply to the cylinder

Most cylinders have a dedicated isolation valve on the cold supply pipe. Turning it off will stop more water entering and is usually enough to slow or stop a leak.

Switch off the immersion heater or boiler

If the cylinder is leaking or has failed, turn off the immersion heater at the wall switch and set the boiler to hot water off. This prevents heating an already compromised system.

Place towels or containers under any leak

Contain any dripping water to protect flooring and prevent water from reaching electrical fittings or the ceiling below.

Do not use hot taps if discharge pipe is running

A continuously running discharge pipe from your unvented cylinder’s pressure relief valve is a safety issue — stop drawing hot water until the engineer arrives.

⚠️ Do NOT attempt these yourself

  • Do not attempt to work on an unvented (pressurised) hot water cylinder yourself — this work is legally restricted to G3 qualified engineers under Building Regulations.
  • Do not ignore a continuously running discharge pipe — this indicates an unsafe system pressure condition and should be treated as an emergency requiring immediate attention.
  • Do not attempt to replace an immersion element with the power still connected — always isolate the electrical supply at the consumer unit first.
  • Do not switch on any electrical switches near the cylinder if there is water nearby — turn the electricity off at the consumer unit first.

“Unvented cylinder started discharging from the relief pipe at midnight — water running down the outside wall. Engineer arrived in under an hour, replaced the faulty pressure relief valve, and issued the Building Regulations certificate the same visit.”
