Alban Plumbing and Heating has been trading since 2009. In Radlett (WD7) our Gas Safe registered engineers install and repair boilers, fix plumbing leaks, repair central heating, power flush systems and service unvented hot water cylinders. Every job is priced before work starts.
We cover the whole of Radlett in WD7, including Gills Hill, Newberries, Aldenham Avenue, Shenley Hill, Theobald Street, Watling Street and the roads around the station.
Radlett has a high share of larger detached houses, particularly around Newberries and Gills Hill. Homes of that size often run a system boiler with an unvented cylinder, several bathrooms and long pipe runs, sometimes with the heating split into zones. Faults in these systems take a methodical approach, and the cylinder needs its own yearly service. Closer to the station and Watling Street there are flats and smaller houses, where combi boilers and compact plumbing are more usual.
We reach Radlett straight down Watling Street from St Albans through Park Street.
For a burst pipe, a leak you cannot stop, no hot water or a leaking boiler, phone us directly and we will tell you honestly how soon we can be there. Radlett is a direct drive from St Albans down Watling Street.
Before we arrive, turn off the stop tap. In larger houses with an unvented cylinder, there is also a valve on the cold feed to the cylinder, usually with a lever handle. Closing it stops the cylinder refilling if the leak is on the hot water side. If the boiler is leaking, switch it off at the wall.
Radlett’s water is hard, supplied by Affinity Water, and limescale wears out taps, shower valves and toilet fill valves sooner than most people expect. In a house with three or four bathrooms, that adds up to a steady list of small repairs.
We repair dripping taps, leaking pipework, running toilets and faulty showers for homeowners and landlords. For larger homes we can work through a list of jobs in one visit, which is usually cheaper than several separate call outs.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers install, replace and repair gas boilers in Radlett, and carry out gas safety checks and gas appliance work. With a breakdown, we diagnose the fault and give you the repair price before fitting parts.
For a replacement, the size of the house matters. A combi is fine for a flat or a smaller home, but a house with several bathrooms normally needs a system boiler and an unvented cylinder to keep more than one shower running. We size the boiler and cylinder to the property instead of guessing.
In larger Radlett houses the usual heating complaints are rooms furthest from the boiler staying cool, one zone not responding to its thermostat and radiators that need bleeding again and again. These generally point to balancing, a zone valve, the pump or air getting into the system.
We repair central heating faults, replace radiators and valves, power flush where sludge is the cause and upgrade older systems with new controls or a full installation.
