Our Water Tank Installation Process
We follow a systematic process to ensure your new tank is installed safely, securely, and with minimal disruption to your daily routine.
1. Site Survey and Capacity Planning
We begin by inspecting your existing tank and the supporting structure in your loft or airing cupboard. We calculate the required capacity based on the number of bathrooms and residents to ensure your heating system installation and cold water taps are never left short.
2. Removal of Old Equipment
We safely drain and remove your old water tank, disposing of it responsibly. During this stage, we inspect the surrounding plumbing pipe repair needs to ensure the new installation starts on a solid foundation.
3. Structural Support and Fitting
Water is heavy, so ensuring a level and reinforced base is critical. We install the new tank using high-quality fittings, ensuring all overflow pipes are correctly routed to the exterior of the property according to safety regulations.
4. System Commissioning and Testing
Once the water tank installation is complete, we chlorinate and flush the system to ensure hygiene. We test all float valves and connections to guarantee a leak-free finish and optimal water pressure throughout your home.
The Benefits of Upgrading Your Water Tank
If your current tank is made of metal or lacks a proper lid, you are at risk of leaks and contamination. Upgrading to a modern storage system offers several advantages:
- Improved Hygiene: Modern plastic tanks do not rust or corrode, ensuring your water remains clean.
- Leak Prevention: Replacing an old, brittle tank eliminates the risk of a catastrophic burst in your loft space.
- Better Performance: Modern valves and fittings reduce noise and refill the tank faster, supporting your heating system maintenance and hot water demands.
- Compliance: New installations meet modern bylaws, which is essential if you are planning a bathroom installation or selling your home.
