Two Very Different Hatfield Jobs

Most boiler replacements in Hatfield fall into one of two camps. The first is the New Town housing in Roe Green, Oxlease and South Hatfield, built in the 1950s and 60s with a hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard and cold water tanks in the loft. Many of these homes are on their second or third boiler, and the owners are often weighing up a switch to a combi.

The second is Salisbury Village, built on the old de Havilland airfield from the early 2000s. Homes there were mostly fitted with combis or system boilers and unvented cylinders when they were new, and that first generation of equipment is now at the age where parts fail and replacement starts to make more sense than another repair.

We also fit boilers for landlords with student lets near the University of Hertfordshire, where hot water demand is higher than in a typical family home. For the rest of our work in the town, see our Hatfield plumbing and heating page.

Getting the Choice Right in Hatfield

The right boiler depends on which of those homes you live in and who uses the hot water.

1960s Homes With Loft Tanks: A combi frees the airing cupboard and loft, provided the mains pressure and flow are good enough. We test both before recommending a conversion.
Salisbury Village Systems: If you already have an unvented cylinder in good order, replacing just the boiler is often the sensible route rather than changing the whole system.
Student and Shared Houses: Four or five people showering in the morning will overwhelm a small combi. A system boiler with stored hot water is usually the better fit.
Hard Water: Hatfield water is hard, so scale protection is fitted where the regulations require it, along with a filter to keep the new boiler clean.
Flue Position: Replacing a boiler in the same spot usually keeps the flue simple. Moving it is possible, but we check the flue route and clearances first.

Signs Your Boiler Is Ready to Go

These are the points at which replacing a boiler starts to make more sense than repairing it again.

Repeated Breakdowns

A boiler that needs a visit every winter is costing you money and comfort. After a certain age, each repair buys less time.

Parts No Longer Made

Early 2000s boilers can be hard to get parts for, which means longer waits and higher repair bills.

Not Enough Hot Water

If the household has grown or the house has been let to more people, the original system may simply be too small.

Rising Running Costs

An ageing boiler loses efficiency over time. A modern condensing boiler with good controls can noticeably cut gas use.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Really happy with the work carried out by Alban Plumbing and Heating. They fitted several new radiators in my home and the whole process was smooth from start to finish. They arrived on time, were friendly and professional, and took great care while working in the house.
The installation was completed to a high standard, everything was left clean and tidy, and the new radiators look fantastic and heat up perfectly. It's refreshing to find a company that is reliable, communicates well, and clearly takes pride in their work.
I wouldn't hesitate to use Alban Plumbing and Heating again and would happily recommend them to friends and family.

 Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Asif has done a great job looking after our plumbing and heating for several years now. He also recently attended in under an hour to fix an emergency leak that he and his son sorted with great efficiency allowing us to get back to work and continue operating with minimal disruption to our business and patients. He’s reasonably priced and friendly and I’m sure we will be using him for many years to come.  His 5 star status is well deserved.

Hatfield Boiler Installation: Your Questions

Can I convert my 1960s house to a combi?

Usually, yes. We test the incoming water pressure and flow first. If they suit your household, we remove the tanks and cylinder and fit a combi. If they do not, a system boiler is the better option.

Is a combi suitable for a student house?

Not usually. Several people showering at once is more than most combis can supply. A system boiler with a cylinder copes far better.

Can you replace just the boiler in Salisbury Village?

Often, yes. If your unvented cylinder and pipework are in good condition, we can replace the boiler alone and keep the rest of the system.

How much does a new boiler cost in Hatfield?

It depends on the boiler, whether it is a straight swap or a conversion, and any pipework changes. The survey and quote are free and the price is agreed before work begins.

How long does the installation take?

A straight swap is usually done in a day. Conversions take longer because of the extra pipework, and we confirm the timing with your quote.

Which parts of Hatfield do you cover?

We cover all of AL9 and AL10, including Old Hatfield, Hatfield Garden Village, Birchwood, Ellenbrook, Roe Green, Oxlease, South Hatfield, Salisbury Village and the town centre.
