Plumbing Estimate Cylinder

To give a plumbing estimate to replace an Direct or Indirect Cylinder we have not included the materials and estimates are based on the allowed time given.

• 116 - To replace a direct copper cylinder. (The cost to replace a direct cylinder with a maximum of 22mm pipe is £300 and estimate at 5 hours).
• 116/a - To replace a indirect copper cylinder. (The cost to replace a indirect copper cylinder with a maximum of 22mm pipe is £450 and estimated at 8 hours).
• More cylinder estimates to follow.

A direct copper cylinder is normally required as an easy job for a plumber but when an indirect is involved then the central heating system has to be drained down and extra work on the flow and return of the boiler pipe is also required. You will find these type of cylinders in the standard 2 to 3 bedroom house at the size of 36 by 18 and will include enough hout water for 1 bathroom. If the house has a bigger cylinder or the pipe size is generally bigger then the time for this would be estimate as 2 hours and may require a second person.
