"Is this the most complicated cylinder swap ever?…” 👀🔥
This one was absolute madness from start to finish.
The customer wanted to upgrade from a vented cylinder to a new unvented setup… "simple enough normally, right?
Wrong. 😅
The old cylinder was on one side of the house.
The new cylinder location needed to be on the COMPLETE opposite side.
The problem?
Different floor levels.
No direct route.
And to make things even worse…
The customer had ONLY JUST had a brand new bathroom fitted by another company. 😬
So the ONLY way of getting the new pipework across the property was to:
▪️ Half dismantle the brand new bathroom
▪️ Lift sections of the new floor
▪️ Run an entirely new bank of pipework through the room
▪️ Re-route everything into the new airing cupboard
▪️ Install and pipe the new unvented cylinder
▪️ Then rebuild and reconnect the bathroom like we were never even there 👌
Honestly… one of those jobs where you stop halfway through and think:
“How on earth did we end up doing this?” 😂
But THIS is where experience matters.
Planning.
Problem solving.
Attention to detail.
When we finished, the customer got:
✅ A massively upgraded hot water system
✅ Better pressure and performance
✅ A cleaner modern setup
✅ And a bathroom put back together perfectly
No shortcuts.
No bodges.
I'm just doing the job properly.
Would love to know…
