Alban Plumbing and Heating has been trading since 2009. In Welwyn Garden City (AL7 and AL8) we install and repair boilers, fix leaks, taps, toilets and showers, repair central heating, power flush systems and fit gas cookers and hobs. You get the price before we start.
We cover both sides of the railway: Handside, Sherrards and the town centre in AL8, and Peartree, Howlands, Hollybush, Haldens and Panshanger in AL7.
Welwyn Garden City was founded in 1920, and the west side of town, around Handside and Parkway, still has many of its original 1920s and 30s houses. Homes of that age can have a mix of old and newer pipework and heating that has been altered several times. East of the railway, Peartree, Howlands and Hollybush grew after the war, with Haldens and Panshanger following later, so boilers and cylinders there span several generations.
One local point worth knowing: much of the town is covered by Welwyn Hatfield Borough Council’s Estate Management Scheme, which controls changes to the outside of houses. If a new boiler means a flue on a different wall, it is sensible to check with the council before work is booked.
A burst pipe, a leak through the ceiling or a boiler that has stopped in winter needs a phone call, not a form. Ring us and we will tell you honestly how soon we can be there. We come in from St Albans through Hatfield, so the west side of town and the centre are reached first, with Haldens and Panshanger a little further on.
While you wait, turn off the stop tap, usually under the kitchen sink, and open the cold taps to drain the pipes. If the boiler is leaking, switch it off at the wall.
Welwyn Garden City has hard water, supplied by Affinity Water, and limescale is behind many of the everyday repairs: dripping taps, toilets that keep filling, stiff valves and showers that lose their pressure.
We repair and replace taps, toilet valves, shower valves, stop taps and leaking pipework for homeowners and landlords. In the older houses on the west side we also check the condition of ageing pipework while we are there, so you know about a problem before it becomes a leak.
Our Gas Safe registered engineers service, repair and replace gas boilers across AL7 and AL8. If your boiler keeps losing pressure, locks out or leaves you without hot water, we find the fault and tell you the repair cost before fitting anything.
When a boiler has reached the end of its life we quote for a replacement that suits the house and how you use hot water. We also look at where the flue will go, which matters in a town where the look of the streets is protected.
Heating systems in Welwyn Garden City range from pipework that is decades old to modern sealed systems. Cold radiators, poor circulation and noisy pipes usually come down to trapped air, a failing pump, stuck valves or sludge.
We repair heating faults, replace radiators and valves, power flush systems where sludge is the real cause, convert older tank fed systems and install complete new heating where needed.
