Our qualified plumbers are committed to installing and repairing tanks and overflows to the highest of standards, with the least amount of disruption to you and your family.

A water storage tank should meet the following requirements before installation:

• A tank of 250 litres is considered adequate for most homes, so don’t buy a tank bigger than this, as it’s important for the water to be replenished with fresh water.
• Your water tank must be made from approved materials like Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) or Polyethylene, as these are approved for water storage. Older tanks are made of galvanised iron, which rusts over time, discolours water and leaves a bad taste. Be sure to look for the WRAS approved product logo, as this will ensure the tank is safe for storing drinking water.
• The tank you purchase must be for potable drinking water, as the design of the tank is different from those used to store non-potable water.

There are several reasons why a ball valve will need to be replaced. They include:

• Internal Leaking
• Leaking at the seams
• When it is no longer stopping water
• When it is not closing completely
• When it is broken

Our team of expert plumbers can replace ball valves, restore the lining of your tank, and repair any connecting pipe work to ensure water in your property is flowing properly.

A noisy tank is an annoying and common occurrence – especially if the tank is in your living space. However, not every sound a tank makes is problematic, but it might sometimes be a signal that points to a bigger issue. For instance, an accumulation of mineral deposits and sediment will cause your tank to make a noise; a clogged drain valve is also a sign your tank needs to be looked at; a leaky tank and cold or lukewarm water from the tank are also indications your tank needs to be repaired. Rusty water and rusty valves are also pointers that suggest a repair is needed.
