Loft Water Tanks FAQ

Below you'll find answers to the most common questions about our loft water tanks. If you need further help choosing the right tank for your project, our team is always happy to assist.

What types of loft water tanks do you stock?

We carry a range of cold water storage tanks designed specifically for loft and header tank installations. Our collection includes various capacities to suit domestic and light commercial applications, from smaller header tanks up to larger storage options. All tanks are sourced from trusted, industry-leading manufacturers.

What materials are your loft water tanks made from?

Our loft water tanks are typically manufactured from high-grade polyethylene or polypropylene, which are lightweight, corrosion-resistant, and approved for potable (drinking) water storage. These materials are durable, easy to handle in confined loft spaces, and comply with relevant UK water regulations.

How do I choose the right tank size for my installation?

Tank size depends on the property's water demand and the available space in the loft. For a typical domestic property, a 25-gallon (114-litre) or 50-gallon (227-litre) tank is common, while larger properties or light commercial buildings may require greater capacity. If you're unsure, contact our team and we'll help you match the right tank to your requirements.

Are your loft water tanks compliant with UK water regulations?

Yes. The tanks in our collection are manufactured to meet WRAS (Water Regulations Advisory Scheme) requirements and are suitable for storing potable water. They also conform to relevant British Standards, so you can install them with confidence that they meet current regulatory expectations.

Will a loft water tank fit through a standard loft hatch?

Many of our tanks are designed with loft access in mind and will pass through a standard loft hatch opening. For larger capacities, some tanks feature a rectangular or coffin-style shape specifically engineered for tight access points. Check the product dimensions against your hatch size before ordering, or get in touch and we'll advise you.

Do you supply lids, fittings, and accessories for loft tanks?

Yes. We can supply lids, insulation kits, float valves, tank connectors, and other fittings needed for a complete installation. Browse our wider catalogue for compatible accessories, or ask our team to put together everything you need in a single order.

How much does delivery cost, and how quickly will my tank arrive?

All orders ship with a flat-rate delivery charge of £12 across the UK mainland. We pride ourselves on fast, dependable dispatch, so most in-stock items are sent promptly. If you have a tight project deadline, contact us and we'll confirm expected delivery timescales for your specific order.

Can I order in bulk or arrange stage payments for larger projects?

Absolutely. We regularly supply contractors and procurement teams with multiple units and can offer competitive pricing on bulk orders. Stage payment options are also available for larger projects, so please get in touch to discuss your requirements and we'll put together a tailored quote.

How should I maintain a loft water tank once it's installed?

We recommend inspecting your tank at least once a year for signs of debris, algae, or damage. Ensure the lid is securely fitted to prevent contamination, and check that the float valve and overflow are functioning correctly. Insulating the tank and associated pipework helps prevent freezing during winter months.
