Boiler Repairs
We specialise in urgent boiler repairs across St Albans and Hertfordshire. Our Gas Safe engineers diagnose and resolve 95% of faults during first visits using stocked parts. No callout charges apply during standard hours, with transparent pricing for domestic and commercial clients. Our approach prioritises repairs over replacements to deliver cost-effective solutions.
Boiler Servicing
Our boiler servicing includes safety checks, combustion analysis, and hydraulic system maintenance. We offer defined scope services for annual safety compliance and full scope strip-downs every 2-3 years. Prices start at 70 for standard boilers, with tailored options for modern condensing and storage systems to ensure optimal efficiency and longevity.
Landlord Certificates
We provide Gas Safety Certificates (CP12) and electrical safety checks for rental properties. Our NICEIC-registered engineers inspect gas appliances, flues, and electrical systems to meet legal requirements. Services include detailed reports and documentation to ensure compliance with HMO regulations across Hertfordshire.
Powerflush
Our powerflush service removes sludge and scale from central heating systems using high-velocity water flow. This restores efficiency and prevents boiler breakdowns caused by blockages. Recommended during boiler replacements or when radiators show cold spots, the process typically completes within a day for most domestic systems.
Commercial Boilers
We maintain and repair commercial boiler systems for businesses in St Albans. Services include scheduled maintenance, emergency breakdowns, and compliance testing for catering equipment and industrial gas installations. Our engineers hold certifications for commercial systems, ensuring minimal downtime and adherence to safety regulations.
