How Do You Know a Cylinder Is Finished?
Some faults are repairable, and some mean the tank is done. The plumber decides after a test, not over the phone.
Can be repaired
Likely finished
You see the test results before choosing, and the fixed price covers whichever option you pick.
Which Hot Water System Suits a House Here?
The right pick comes down to your home, how many people live in it and whether gas is connected:
Electric storage
Instant electric
Gas storage
Continuous-flow gas
Solar
Heat pump
The same licensed gas fitters who connect gas water heaters also handle gas appliance installation elsewhere in the house.

What Shapes the Price of Hot Water Work?
We provide up-front, honest quotes that will always match the final price, should you decide to go ahead.
The system and its size are the biggest factor: a continuous-flow gas unit is a different job from putting the same tank back.
The rest depends on:
- Where the unit sits From a wall bracket beside the laundry to solar collectors up on the roof
- The existing pipework Which may suit the new unit as it is or need altering
- Night and weekend work Charged as after-hours
The Hot Water Booking, Step by Step
- 01
Ring or send the form
Call (02) 4063 3475 or use the form to explain the fault. We ask enough to bring the right equipment the first time.
- 02
A fixed price first
A plumber inspects the job and names a fixed figure up front. Nothing gets started until you give the go-ahead.
- 03
Test, then fix or replace
After testing, the faulty part or the complete system is changed as agreed, and the water is checked for temperature before the plumber goes.
- 04
Covered for a year
Every job carries our 365-day warranty on all work. If something we did isn't right, ring the same number.
Jobs That Sit With Another Trade
When we're not the right call: if a heat pump or solar booster has no power because the house wiring or the meter box is at fault, that is for an electrician to sort before we finish the plumbing. A leaking gas meter belongs to the gas distributor.
What Customers Say
They looked after an issue with the hot water system for us. It turned out that the unit was faulty. To ensure hot water, they immediately replaced the unit with a temporary one.
Hot Water FAQs for the Estate
Do you supply a temporary hot water tank while the new unit is on order?
Yes. If your cylinder has failed and the new one cannot be fitted straight away, a temporary hot water tank can be connected so the house still has hot water. It is listed in the fixed price before anything is ordered.
Our Cliftleigh cylinder is nine years old and dripping from the base. Is that a repair?
Probably not. A leak at the base of a storage cylinder points to the inner tank rusting through, and no seal can fix that from outside. The plumber tests it first and gives you a straight answer, so you are not paying to patch a tank that needs replacing.
Can you swap our electric storage unit for a heat pump hot water system?
Yes. The heat pump page explains how the units work and how a changeover from an electric tank is done. You get a fixed price for the swap, and the install carries our 365-day warranty on all work.
Is a hot water replacement covered by your warranty?
Yes. A valve swap, a new element or a whole new system all carry our 365-day warranty on all work. If anything we fitted gives trouble within that year, ring the same number.
