Discuss Unvented Cylinder - Tundish Leak in the Plumbing Jobs | The Job-board area at PlumbersForums.net
Last year the same thing happened and they installed a bigger tundish. It’s now occurred again.
Makes a changeThere shouldn’t be any water going into tundish, so you have a fault with your unvented cylinder, or it’s controls or pipework.
You might also have something wrong with the discharge pipe, but get your unvented unit serviced - has to be done once a year.
Edit, - Harvest beat me to it.
Thanks for the advice all. It was serviced in November.
Get the engineer back to have a look at it for you. Sometimes things like this happen.Thanks for the advice all. It was serviced in November.

How long was he there ?
Your statement about them changing the tundish screams at me they have ZERO idea.
Unf many engineers think they are competent to work on UVCs. However, without doing the courses they simply cannot know enough and certainly not understand them intimately enough to fault find.
Ask to see your engineers G3 ticket. If they cannot provide move on to someone who can. Sorry, but safety & pragmatism must take precedence over ÂŁ.
There are a number of potential causes. Some far more serious than others. It really does need looking at properly and by a G3 qualified person with at least 18mths under their belt. Hell, every a school day for me...
Good luck and pls let us know how you fair.
There is one on my estate that needs doing every 6 months.It is all built into the tank. It’s a Megaflo indirect cylinder.
For the 3rd time in 18 months I have a small leak appearing on the ceiling under my unvented cylinder.
Last time this happened was in March and I was told this was as a result of the air gap needing replenishing which the plumber did for me at the time. It was previously done in November last year during the systems first service.
It is normal for the air gap to need replenishing every 4 or 5 months please?
I suggested that to the bloke around the corner to me but he wasn’t having itIf you are having to keep topping up the air gap, you could get your G3 qualified plumber to install an external suitable expansion vessel
