Hot water repairs and replacement in Kensington
No hot water, a tank squeezed into a cupboard that's started leaking, or water that never gets properly hot? We repair and replace electric, gas, continuous flow and heat pump hot water systems in Kensington's Federation homes, terraces and units. We're based nearby in Matraville, and you get clear options and a fixed price before any work starts.
Hot water in tight spaces
In Kensington's Federation houses and terraces, hot water tanks are often squeezed into laundries, cupboards and narrow side passages that were never designed for them. Replacing one means measuring carefully, checking the gas or power supply and flue clearances, and choosing the right size unit, not just the biggest one that fits. Slimline tanks, wall-mounted continuous flow units and relocating the system outside are all options we'll talk you through.
Older pipework around the tank
Many Kensington homes still have original galvanised or early copper water pipes. Around the hot water system, that can mean low pressure, rusty-looking water and leaks at old fittings. When we install a new system, we replace tired pipework at the unit, fit a tempering valve where needed, and give you the compliance paperwork.

Common questions
Can you move my hot water system out of the laundry?
Often, yes. Moving it outside can free up space and suit a continuous flow unit or heat pump. We'll check what's possible.
What size hot water system do I need?
It depends on how many people live there and your bathrooms. Our hot water guide has a sizing table, and we size it properly on site.
Why is my hot water rusty?
A worn anode, a corroding tank or old galvanised pipes. We test to find which.
Do you charge to quote in Kensington?
No. We quote on site for free.
