I had a great experience dealing with Jack from Dr Cylinder. Very punctual, great communication and amazing value for money. I called Jack to replace and upgrade my old leaking Low pressure cylinder to a mains pressure system. Not only did Jack deliver a fantastic result, but also walked me through preventative measures I can take in future to prevent any need for someone to come service in future. Saved me money ! Cheers Jack

Jack was great to deal with. There was a leak in one of my cylinders. I have been quoted by other cylinder guys and Jack was far reasonable with his pricing. Not only that his service was quick and he was able to solve our hot water issue leak on the go. 5/5 service, definitely would recommend if you have any hot water issues.
