Hot water cylinders come in two specific types: unvented and vented. Cylinders ensure that a generous amount of hot water is stored for ready, on-demand use, whether a domestic or commercial property.
Our engineers all carry G3 qualifications and a range of parts, so will be able to investigate faults and repair where possible.
These cylinders primarily differ in how they are supplied with water. Vented cylinders are gravity-fed from a cistern tank kept in the loft, whilst typically, the hot water cylinder itself will be fitted in an airing cupboard.
As the cold water is heated, it will expand – but the vent pipe and the tank in the loft act as overflow areas to which excess water can escape in the process.
An unvented cylinder will be connected directly to the mains, saving you from needing a cold water tank in the loft. This will provide your system with mains pressure water.
When water heats and expands in an unvented system, the excess water can move into an expansion unit or an air bubble fitted as part of the original installation.
This very much depends on the design of your property and, if applicable, on the current installation. We also need to take account of the incoming cold water flow rate and pressure. We will happily conduct a free and detailed home and family survey to advise you on the optimal system for you and your property.
Please contact us if you are experiencing problems with an existing vented or unvented system. If you are looking for a new installation, we can also arrange a home and family survey, whereby we will analyse the suitability of your property for a given system.
and attention-to-detail, utilising a small team of highly-skilled and fully-trained engineers.

I chose Bespoke Gas when I needed a new heating system as they had been recommended by friends and completed work for our church. I knew from this experience that they would solve any problem and I was able to trust them completely. They completed the work while I was away - moving furniture and leaving the house clean and as I left it. How lovely to come back to a warm house after making do with electric heaters!
I recently used Bespoke Gas in Curdridge for my boiler service and was impressed from start to finish. Kate provided a friendly and informative welcome, clearly explaining their terms of business, which gave me confidence to go ahead and book. Anthony carried out the service and was exceptionally thorough. He treated my home with great respect, even wearing shoe covers throughout, which I really appreciated. Following the visit, I received a helpful and friendly follow‑up call from Kurtis, rounding off the experience perfectly. This is a genuine family business that clearly takes pride in its work and customer care. I can highly recommend Bespoke Gas.
Bespoke Gas have looked after us for a few years now. They are a quality, dependable, reliable and honest company that I have no hesitation in recommending. Expert service. Great communication. Now we have found them, we won't be going anywhere else. Thank you
