Water tank and cylinder repair in Tooting with a plumber fitting an immersion heater

Common Cylinder Problems

Water that runs lukewarm, rumbling noises when it heats, or a slow drip in the airing cupboard. Immersion heaters burn out, thermostats stick and old copper cylinders eventually corrode through. Most of these have a clear fix.

Cold Water Tanks in the Loft

Loft tanks need a working ball valve, a proper lid and insulation. Without them you get overflows, debris in the water and frozen pipes in winter. We service tanks, replace valves and fit new tanks where the old one has had its day.

Repair or Replace?

A failed thermostat or immersion heater is worth repairing. A cylinder that is leaking from the body is not, because the copper has gone. We will tell you which one you are dealing with and what your options cost before deciding anything.

About us

Plenty of south London homes still run vented systems with a loft tank and a hot water cylinder, and Quick Call Property Services has looked after them for 25 years. We keep immersion heaters, thermostats and valves in stock, and our engineers are just as comfortable with unvented cylinders, which need specific qualifications to work on safely.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my hot water only lukewarm in my Tooting home?

The most common causes are a failed immersion heater element, a stuck cylinder thermostat, or a heating coil that has scaled up. It can also mean the cylinder is drawing cold water in too quickly. We can test each of these and tell you which it is.

Can you replace a hot water cylinder in Tooting?

Yes. We remove the old cylinder, fit the replacement and reconnect the pipework and controls. Unvented cylinders require an engineer with the correct qualification, which our team holds. Most straightforward swaps are completed in a day so you are not left without hot water.

How do I stop my loft tank freezing in winter?

Make sure the tank has a fitted lid and is insulated on the sides, but leave the loft floor beneath it uninsulated so warmth rises to it. Lag every exposed pipe up there too. We can fit tank jackets and pipe lagging while we are with you.
