Hot water repairs and replacement in Kingsford
Cold showers, a tank that's past its use-by date or a relief valve that never stops dripping? We repair and replace electric, gas, continuous flow and heat pump hot water systems in Kingsford houses, semis and units. We're based just down the road in Matraville, and you get clear options and a fixed price before any work starts.
Ageing hot water systems
Plenty of Kingsford tanks are well past their expected life, especially in older interwar homes and small unit blocks. A tank over 10 years old can fail without much warning, usually by leaking from the base. Planning a replacement means you choose the system and the timing, rather than going without hot water. We check the age plate, the relief valve and the tank, and tell you honestly whether it's worth repairing.
Kingsford homes and hot water
In semis and terraces, the hot water system is often in a narrow side passage, a small laundry or a back lean-to, so the replacement has to fit the space. In small unit blocks, compact electric tanks in cupboards are common, and a leaking tank can affect the unit below. Many older homes also have tired galvanised pipework around the tank, which can cause low pressure and discoloured hot water.

Common questions
How do I know how old my hot water system is?
Check the compliance plate on the side of the tank for the manufacture date. Over 10 years old means it's worth planning a replacement.
Can you replace a hot water tank in a small unit?
Yes. We supply compact units that fit cupboards and tight laundries.
Why is my hot water pressure low?
Often old galvanised pipes or a faulty tempering valve. We test to find the cause.
