If your home suffers from weak hot water pressure—or you’re planning a bathroom upgrade or extension—an unvented hot water cylinder could be the perfect solution. I’m Ross, owner of ISM Plumbing & Heating, and I’ve been installing high-performance hot water systems across Alfreton, Sutton-in-Ashfield, Ripley, and the wider region for over 15 years.
Recently, we upgraded a family home in South Normanton that had constant complaints about slow-filling baths and low-pressure showers. Their old open-vented tank system just couldn’t keep up. We installed a modern 210-litre unvented cylinder, and the difference was immediate. Strong, balanced hot water to every tap—even with two showers running at once.
Whether you're replacing a traditional cylinder, switching from a combi boiler, or preparing for a loft conversion or house extension, we’ll design and install a system that suits your home, usage, and long-term needs.
What’s Included in Our Unvented Cylinder Installation
Our full-service installation includes everything needed for a safe, efficient upgrade:
- Free home survey and system design
- Supply and installation of a high-quality unvented cylinder
- All pipework, expansion vessels, valves, and safety components
- Integration with your existing boiler or heat source
- Full system commissioning
- Building control notification and compliance documentation
- Optional servicing plans to keep everything running smoothly
We install both standalone unvented systems and cylinders designed to work alongside system boilers or renewables like solar or heat pumps.
Unvented systems deliver hot water directly from the mains, offering:
- Strong, consistent pressure at all outlets
- Simultaneous supply to multiple bathrooms
- No need for loft tanks—free up space
- Improved hygiene and reduced maintenance
- Compatible with modern boilers and renewable systems
Perfect for family homes, renovations, or larger properties with growing hot water demand.
We only fit unvented cylinders from trusted manufacturers with excellent reliability and warranty support, including:
- Heatrae Sadia Megaflo – Industry-leading performance and efficiency
- Gledhill – Compact, space-saving options for all home sizes
- Telford – UK-made, renewable-ready cylinders
- Worcester Bosch – High quality with strong aftercare support
We’ll help you choose the right make, model, and capacity based on your household’s needs.
We’ve installed unvented cylinders in a wide variety of properties throughout:
- Alfreton, Somercotes, and Swanwick
- Sutton-in-Ashfield, Stanton Hill, and Skegby
- Ripley, Codnor, and Heage
- South Normanton, Tibshelf, and Pinxton
Whether it’s a tight airing cupboard, a full heating upgrade, or a new extension, we’ll plan the install carefully and keep everything neat, safe, and regulation-compliant.
