Andy you were right should have got you to do the job well done.

For the first time in about 6 months we have had no dripping over night from the overflow so no wet path , great this only stopped when the kitchen mixer tap was changed. After he replaced the cylinder the problem was just the same. If he changed the tap first instead ofchanging the ccylinder...

Hi could get him to take it put and get a combi but I've been happy with the system I've got is a combi boiler That much better and why

Well plumber came back today fitted new tap and he brought the old cylinder back he showed my some discolouration on the bottom said it would be corrosion and would have eventually gone however it could last another five years who knows For sure, we have had a cylinder changed unnecessary...

Hi well still not sorted my hot water tap is still disconnected and no drips from overflow how would you know if it was the cylinder when the dripping over flow was there before the cylinder was changed and it was still there after the cylinder was changed. However since the hot water tap on...

After he fitted the new cylinder it was still leaking out the overflow in the middle of the night it was only when he isolated the kitchen hot water tap that is stopped leaking . Which makes me think he fitted a new cylinder and it made no difference At all to the leak so why fit a new cylinder...

Just as a matter of interest how do you eliminate if it's the cylinder needs changing

Well the plumber came back today and is shocked changing the cylinder did not work .He has now looked at the mixer tap in the kitchen and has blocked off the hot water to this tap we will have to wait till morning to see if the water is still coming bout of the over flow pipe if it is the taps...

Thanks Andy I have contacted the plumber and he is coming today I've not paid him yet I do not think he knows were the water is coming from. I'm no mad as I feel like he has replaced a perfectly good cylinder and the cost is high the The leaks starts in the early hours when non waterIis being...
