Boiler Repairs for AL2

Keeping Older Combis Running

Many of the boilers we repair in the area are the original combis fitted when the homes at Napsbury Park were built. At that age the same parts tend to fail: expansion vessels that lose their charge and cause pressure drops, diverter valves that leave you with hot water but no heating, and fans and circuit boards that give out after years of service.

In the older part of the village, around the High Street and the River Colne, systems are more mixed. We see conventional boilers with tanks and cylinders, pumps and valves past their best, and pipework that has been extended many times.

We diagnose properly, explain what has failed and agree the price before any repair. If the boiler is not worth fixing, we will say so and talk through a replacement boiler. Our London Colney plumbing and heating page covers our other local work.

Faults Common in Older Combis

These are the parts that most often fail on combis that have been running for well over a decade.

Expansion Vessel: When it loses its charge, the pressure climbs when heating and drops when cold, and the relief valve may drip outside.
Diverter Valve: A worn diverter valve can leave you with hot water but no heating, or lukewarm hot water.
Fan and PCB: Fans and circuit boards wear with age and cause the boiler to lock out or not fire at all.
Heat Exchanger Scale: Hard water scale on the plate heat exchanger causes fluctuating hot water temperatures.
Condensate Blockages: A blocked or frozen condensate trap or pipe stops the boiler working.

Signs Your Combi Needs Attention

Call us if you notice any of these.

Pressure Up and Down

Pressure that climbs when the heating runs and falls when it is off often means the expansion vessel needs attention.

Pipe Dripping Outside

A small pipe dripping on the outside wall usually means the pressure relief valve is discharging.

Heating Will Not Come On

Hot water works but radiators stay cold, often a diverter valve fault.

Boiler Locking Out

Repeated lockouts point to a fan, sensor or ignition problem.

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.
