Plumbers in St Albans
Plumbing and heating in St Albans
St Albans combines Victorian terraces around the city centre and Fleetville with larger inter-war and modern family homes. Like the rest of Hertfordshire, the water is very hard.
Hard water is behind many hot water and heating calls we get here: scaled immersion elements, noisy boilers and showers that lose pressure. We fix the fault and explain how to slow limescale down.

Reviews from our customers
Very fast and reliable and honest.
Eljo from Urgent Plumbers London Ltd is one of, if not the most responsive tradesman I've come across - replied to queries and messages quickly without fuss, and clearly explained issues/reasoning with any work required. Always arrived when he said he would too and was happy to provide all relevant documentation (Gas Safe etc) when asked - would recommend. Quoted for boiler service/replaced our boiler when it was found to be un-serviceable.
Urgent Plumbers were fantastic when my boiler leaked. It was at the worst time possible -early on a Sunday morning when I was rushing out to work. He was so calm , turned up quickly as promised and then was so efficient at working out and fixing the problem. He was also so kind as I was terrified how much it would all cost for a Sunday emergency call out Thank you so much - you're an absolute hero

Why does limescale cause so many problems in St Albans?
St Albans, like the rest of Hertfordshire, has very hard water. When it's heated, the minerals form limescale on immersion elements, inside boilers and in shower heads. It reduces efficiency and causes early failures. A scale reducer and sensible temperature settings help.
