Arrange a Boiler Survey in Hertford
Tell us what heating you have now, including any back boiler or floor-standing boiler, and we will arrange a survey and quote.
Mains gas boiler installations across Hertford, from period properties near the town centre to post-war homes in Sele Farm. Gas Safe registered engineers, a home survey and a clear quote before work starts.



Hertford has a real mix of heating systems. Around the historic town centre and Bengeo there are period properties with pipework that has been extended and rerouted over the decades. In post-war housing, including some homes around Sele Farm, you can still find an old back boiler sitting behind a gas fire, or a floor-standing boiler in a kitchen cupboard.
Replacing those older setups is a bigger job than a straight swap. A back boiler has to be safely decommissioned, the fireplace made good, and a new wall-hung boiler fitted with a flue that meets current rules. We plan all of that at the survey so the quote covers the whole job.
We install mains gas boilers. Some homes on the edges of Hertford are off the gas grid and run on oil or LPG, so if that is you, tell us when you call and we will let you know straight away whether we can help. For other work in the town, see our Hertford plumbing and heating page.
These are the situations we plan around most when replacing a boiler in Hertford.
Older heating systems tend to show the same warning signs before they fail.
Back boilers are now very old technology. Parts are scarce and efficiency is poor compared with a modern condensing boiler.
An older boiler with a pilot light that keeps going out is often not worth repairing again.
If radiators take an age to warm, an old boiler and sludged pipework may both need attention.
Older non-condensing boilers send a large share of their heat up the flue. A modern boiler wastes far less.
From back boiler replacements to straightforward combi swaps across SG13 and SG14.
We look at the existing boiler, flue, gas supply and pipework, and note anything that needs decommissioning.
We explain what needs doing, including any back boiler removal, and quote for the whole job up front.
We fit and test the new boiler, show you the controls and register the installation as the law requires.

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.Posted on 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.Posted on Google![]()
