Alban Plumbing and Heating has been repairing plumbing and heating in this part of Hertfordshire since 2009. In Hatfield (AL9 and AL10) we take on boiler repairs and servicing, leaks, radiators that will not heat up, hot water cylinder faults and landlord gas safety checks. You get a clear price before we start.
We work across the AL9 and AL10 postcodes: Old Hatfield, Hatfield Garden Village, Birchwood, Ellenbrook, Roe Green, Oxlease, South Hatfield, Salisbury Village and the town centre.
Hatfield’s housing is a real mix, and that changes the job. Much of Roe Green, Oxlease and South Hatfield was built in the 1950s and 60s after Hatfield became a New Town. Houses of that age were often plumbed with a hot water cylinder and cold water tanks in the loft, and many are now on their second or third boiler. Salisbury Village, built on the old de Havilland airfield from the early 2000s, is mostly combi boilers and unvented cylinders that are reaching the age where parts begin to fail. Old Hatfield, close to Hatfield House, has much older properties where pipe runs are rarely simple.
Landlords with student lets around College Lane and the University of Hertfordshire can book gas safety checks and repairs with us too.
If water is coming through a ceiling or the boiler has packed up in cold weather, ring us instead of filling in a form. We will tell you honestly how soon we can be with you. From St Albans it is a direct run along the A1057 into Ellenbrook, the town centre and Old Hatfield, with Birchwood and South Hatfield just beyond.
While you wait, turn the water off at the stop tap, which in most houses is under the kitchen sink, and switch the boiler off at the wall if it is the boiler that is leaking. That alone can save a lot of damage.
Hatfield is supplied by Affinity Water and the water here is hard. Limescale sits behind a lot of the small jobs we are asked to look at: stiff or dripping taps, toilets that keep running, showers that slowly lose pressure and cylinders that take longer to heat.
We repair and replace taps, toilet valves, shower valves, stop taps and sections of leaking pipework for homeowners and landlords. If limescale keeps causing the same faults, we can fit a water softener and explain what it will and will not fix.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers service, repair and replace gas boilers across Hatfield. A yearly service keeps the boiler safe and is normally a condition of the manufacturer’s warranty. If the boiler has broken down, we find the fault first and give you the repair price before fitting any parts.
Where an older boiler is no longer worth repairing, we will say so and quote for a replacement that suits the house, whether that is a combi for a two bedroom home in Birchwood or a system boiler and cylinder for a larger family house.
Many of Hatfield’s New Town houses still have their original pipework and radiators. Over decades, sludge builds up in systems like these and you see it as radiators that are cold at the bottom, noisy pipes or a boiler that keeps cutting out.
We repair central heating faults, replace radiators and valves, power flush systems that are full of sludge and convert older tank fed systems to modern sealed ones. We will always check the cause before recommending a power flush, because it is not the answer to every cold radiator.
