I have a leaking vented Hot Water Cylinder that requires replacing urgently. It has an emersion heater fitted but is mainly heated via a esse multifuel range cooker that has just tonight developed a leak in the internal Heat Exchanger.
The system has no isolation valves therefore I need two 20mm isolation vales fitting to the existing pipework to allow a new cylinder and immersion heater to be fitted urgently. I can then prepare the wall and flue for a replacement multifuel either heater or range with a back boiler and re connect to the new vented cylinder.
I need a plumber to carry out this work as a matter of urgency - Can you help?
I see it’s been a while since this was posted, but I just wanted to ask—did you manage to find a good plumber in the end? I’m looking for recommendations myself, and it seems like decent tradespeople can be hard to track down. If anyone else has had good experiences with a plumber in the area, I’d love to hear about it. Always good to have a reliable contact for future issues.
Sounds like a tricky situation. I had a similar issue last year, and finding the right person fast was a struggle. If you’re still searching, a commercial plumber might be a good option, especially if there are larger-scale issues involved. Some of them handle residential work too, so it’s worth asking. I ended up getting help that way for a major leak, and it saved me a lot of hassle.
