Commercial & Plant Room Expansion Vessel Servicing

Servicing, pressure testing and replacement of commercial heating expansion vessels in plant rooms, boiler houses and rooftop plant across London. Single large vessels and multi-vessel banks, planned maintenance contracts and out-of-hours attendance to avoid disrupting the building.

What this service covers

Commercial expansion vessel servicing

Commercial vessels carry far higher static heads than domestic systems, so the pre-charge has to be calculated from the plant room’s position in the building, not guessed. We service vessel banks on LTHW heating circuits, chilled water systems and calorifier installations, recording each vessel’s pre-charge, shell condition and valve operation against its asset tag.

  • LTHW heating, chilled water and calorifier vessels
  • Pre-charge calculated from building static head
  • Vessel bank servicing with per-asset records
  • Isolation valves and drain points exercised

Plant room expansion vessel servicing & replacement

Plant room expansion vessel work is planned around the building. We attend out of hours where the system cannot be taken offline in the day, isolate vessel by vessel so the circuit keeps running, and replace failed units with matched-capacity vessels. Rigging and access for large vessels in basement plant rooms is arranged as part of the quote.

  • Out-of-hours and weekend attendance
  • Vessel-by-vessel isolation to keep plant running
  • Access, rigging and disposal included in the quote
  • Matched-capacity replacements on failure

Large expansion vessel servicing

Large expansion vessel servicing on 200-1000 litre units follows the same principles as domestic work but with proper drain-down management, nitrogen charging and a documented hold test. We also check the pressurisation unit, make-up tank and its pump set, since a failing pressurisation unit is often mistaken for a failed vessel.

  • 200-1000 litre vessel servicing
  • Nitrogen charging with documented hold test
  • Pressurisation unit and make-up tank checks
  • Pump set and low-pressure alarm verification

Commercial maintenance contracts

Expansion vessel maintenance contracts fold vessel servicing into your wider plant PPM so nothing is missed at renewal. You get scheduled visits, an asset register with pre-charge history for every vessel, priority breakdown response and a single annual price across all your sites.

  • Scheduled annual or bi-annual PPM visits
  • Asset register with per-vessel pre-charge history
  • Priority breakdown response for contract sites
  • Single annual price across multiple properties
