How did you get the tank out? There's one in our loft. I don't even know if it has water in it. And I'm scared of setting fire to the loft trying to get it out. Also thinking that eventually I'll want a tank again but probably not the same one...

It was just a plastic cold water tank so once I’d drained it and sorted out the pipes feeding it then I cut it up with an oscillating multi tool, trying not to set fire to the loft in the process. Pretty tedious but was straightforward.
It was feeding the cold side of the shower, so guaranteed awful water pressure. First thing I did when I moved in was chop it out the loop and feed it from mains water instead. No idea how the family that lived here before tolerated it.

If it's a galvanised tank, you'll need a grinder and there's a huge chance with the sparks from the grinder you set something on fire. We leave them always now!

It's the small loft space over the bathroom in the outrigger - so just one you can poke your head into rather than stand up in. It had a big cold water tank above the bathroom that I emptied a while ago, but I never got around to taking out the tank itself, so it hid the worst of the chimney bodge.
I had a fair idea it was crap to be honest - there's a small dent in the ceiling in the room that it's over and I could see the wall was a mess - just hadn't expected it to be quite that shoddy. Does at least look like it has gallows brackets so the stack isn't hanging at least...
