Many older properties in Mere and Wiltshire still rely on outdated galvanised steel cold water tanks. Over time, these are prone to rust, sediment build-up, and sudden leaks. Upgrading to a modern water storage cistern provides several key benefits for your home.Modern plastic tanks are inherently resistant to corrosion, instantly improving your water hygiene and preventing debris from blocking your taps and shower heads. Furthermore, new installations come with fitted lids and superior insulation. This is crucial for preventing freezing and burst pipes during cold winter months, saving you from the stress of emergency water damage. If you do suspect a hidden leak from an old tank, our leak detection services can quickly identify the source.

At BC Plumbing, your health and safety are our primary concerns. Every cold water tank we install, repair, or maintain adheres strictly to current WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) guidelines. This means ensuring your tank is properly sealed with a secure lid and fitted with the correct insect screens on the overflow, preventing pests, dust, and debris from contaminating your domestic water supply.Because the cold water tank often feeds directly into your hot water system, maintaining its hygiene is essential. As G3 Certified plumbing experts, we understand the critical relationship between your cold water storage and your heating setup. Whether you rely on a traditional gravity-fed system or are looking to upgrade to a modern mains pressure solution, our hot water cylinder services and tank installations guarantee your entire system operates safely and legally.

One of the most common issues homeowners face is an overflowing cold water tank. You might notice water constantly dripping or running from a pipe on the outside of your house. This is usually caused by a faulty ball valve inside the tank that fails to shut off the incoming mains water supply once the cistern is full.Ignoring a running overflow can lead to wasted water, increased bills, and potential freezing issues in winter. Fortunately, ball valve repairs are often quick and straightforward for an experienced plumber. We can efficiently replace the worn components, adjust the water level, and inspect the surrounding pipework to ensure everything is functioning correctly.
