Signs You Need a New Cylinder

When Wandsworth Homes Need Cylinder Replacement

Hot water cylinders typically last 10–15 years. Here’s what tends to prompt a replacement across the borough’s mix of period houses and flats.

Leaking or corroded cylinder

Rust staining, damp around the airing cupboard, or a visible leak from the cylinder itself is usually a sign the tank has corroded internally and needs replacing rather than repairing — common in older cylinders across Battersea and Putney's period houses.

Not enough hot water for the household

An undersized cylinder installed for a smaller household often runs out of hot water once a Wandsworth Town or Nine Elms flat gains an extra bathroom or occupant — a larger or unvented replacement usually resolves this.

Poor water pressure at taps and showers

Older vented cylinders fed from a loft tank often can't match the pressure of modern showers. Switching to an unvented cylinder gives mains pressure hot water throughout the property.

Freeing up airing cupboard or loft space

Removing an old loft tank and vented cylinder in favour of a compact unvented system is a common upgrade during renovations of Earlsfield and Tooting terraces, freeing up valuable storage space.

Wandsworth cylinder context: Many properties across Battersea, Putney and Earlsfield still run older vented cylinders fed from a loft cold water tank, original to the property. Newer flats around Wandsworth Town and Nine Elms are increasingly fitted with unvented cylinders for mains pressure hot water throughout. We advise on the right replacement for your property type and hot water demand.

Our old vented cylinder in Battersea started leaking into the airing cupboard. Had it replaced like-for-like the same week, old tank removed and no mess left behind.

New-build flat near Wandsworth Town never had great shower pressure. Switched to an unvented cylinder and removed the old loft tank at the same time — proper mains pressure now.

Hot Water Cylinder Replacement in Wandsworth — FAQs

Yes. We cover the entire Wandsworth borough including Battersea, Clapham Junction, Putney, Wandsworth Town, Balham, Earlsfield, Tooting and Roehampton — postcodes SW11, SW12, SW15, SW17 and SW18. Our engineers are based locally across South West London.

A like-for-like vented cylinder replacement starts from £780. An unvented cylinder replacement starts from £1,450, and a full vented-to-unvented upgrade including loft tank removal starts from £1,850. All prices are confirmed before work begins.

Unvented cylinders give mains pressure hot water at every outlet and don't need a loft tank, making them popular for flats and properties wanting better shower pressure.

A like-for-like vented replacement usually takes 3–4 hours. An unvented replacement typically takes 4–6 hours, and a full vented-to-unvented upgrade including loft tank removal can take a full day.
