Moving a megaflo water tank

Hi,
Excuse the ignorance as this is definitely not my area of expertise!
We are looking to move our megaflo tank into the loft of our bungalow to free up the large amount of space it takes up currently. We want it to go directly above where it is now, this is also where all the pipes are coming from. I am aware we will need a base created to support its weight but was wondering on potential cost? Like I say I will sit directly above where it is now and all the pipes are coming from the loft already.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

A peasy job for the correct plumber. By 'correct', I mean they must be G3 (something like that...) registered. But, really, the simplest of jobs.As you say, the biggest issue is likely to be reinforcing the floor. The best answer here is to choose a location that sits above a solid internal wall - do you have one?Cost? No idea. But just a few lengths of copper pipe and a day's work? The plumber will want the platform ready in place first.A sparky will be needed to extend cables to the 'stat and to the immersion heater if fitted.The other issue is - are there lots of other plumbing items around that tank at the moment, and can they stay put or will they need to move too?! I'm talking valves, pump, wiring centre...1
