Compare Local QuotesWhat Fails in Goodwood
- Long-serving cylinders. Plenty of original installations still running well past the point where the sacrificial anode is spent.
- Missing or non-draining drip trays. A tray with no drain is worse than none, because it looks compliant and still empties into the ceiling.
- Perished vacuum breakers. They weep quietly down the outside of the cylinder and get mistaken for a mystery leak.
- Sediment. Slow heating, knocking while heating, and shorter element life.
What to Check in the Roof
If you have never looked at your geyser, four things tell you most of what you need to know: whether there is a tray under it, whether the tray actually drains, where the overflow pipe comes out, and whether the pipework is insulated.
All four are inexpensive to correct and all four are what an inspection before a sale picks up. Doing it before you need a certificate is cheaper than doing it during a transfer.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I tell if my drip tray is working?
Look for a drain pipe leaving the tray and follow it to where it discharges outside. A tray with no drain, or one whose pipe ends in the ceiling void, provides no protection at all despite looking correct.
Where should the overflow pipe come out?
Somewhere outside and visible, so you can see it running. Discharging into a gutter, a downpipe or the ceiling defeats the purpose, because a failing valve then goes unnoticed until there is damage.
Is uninsulated pipework really costing me money?
Yes, continuously, and it is among the cheapest items on any quote to fix. Hot, cold and safety valve pipework should all be insulated, and on older installations frequently none of it is.
What is a vacuum breaker and why does it leak?
It admits air if mains pressure drops below the cylinder, which stops the geyser being siphoned empty. They perish with age and weep slowly, so the water tracks down the outside of the cylinder rather than dripping visibly.
Should I replace a geyser that still works but is very old?
Not automatically, but get it inspected. Past twelve years the useful question is how much life is left rather than what a repair costs, and an anode and valve check answers it cheaply.
