PHP Services

PHP Services are a family run business of plumbers, heating and gas engineers. We are based in St. Albans, North West Hertfordshire, but serve a wide radius. Our many loyal customers, some of whom have been using us for all their plumbing and heating needs for over 25 years, know they can rely on us when needed, for plumbing emergencies, annual boiler and heating servicing or full heating or bathroom installations. We specialise in domestic and light industrial plumbing, heating and gas, and we always strive to exceed our customer's expectations.

PHP Services have been providing plumbing, heating and gas services in Hertfordshire for over 20 years. We have a vast range of experience in the plumbing and heating industry and as such are able to offer a complete service. We feel it is better to be able to use one company for all your requirements rather than a heating company to maintain and service your boiler and system, a plumber for all your water or sanitary requirements. This enables us to keep comprehensive records of all the work we have carried out for our customers.

Whether it is a combination boiler, or a full system with a highly efficient boiler, connected to designer radiators or underfloor heating, and an unvented hot water cylinder sophisticated weather compensation controls giving outstanding efficiency and control from your smart phone, PHP Services will provide the system you and your property require. PHP Services specialise in the design, installation and maintenance of gas fired central heating systems and are qualified to work on both natural and LPG gas.

Blocked drains are probably one of the most inconvenient things to happen in your home; from internal drain problems such as overflowing toilets and slow draining sinks to external blocked drains overflowing with leaves, silt and worse! Don't worry though, PHP Services will identify the problem and using tried and tested methods will unblock the drain and have the water flowing again in no time at all. From traditional rods to jetting with high pressure water and camera surveys for external drains, or an auto feed electric drain cleaner for smaller internal wastes, PHP Services will get your system flowing again in no time!

Our team of plumbers will install, repair and maintain all aspects of your plumbing system that needs to be done in your home, office or rental property, however large or small the job may be.

PHP Services use Kamco flushing equipment. Kamco devleloped the first powerflushing pump in 1992. This wealth of experience coupled with continual research and developement enables them to provide a superior range of pumps chemicals and accessories. Heating systems are forcibly cleansed using water at high velocity, but low pressure, so that no physical damage is caused to the system. The objective is to restore systems with circulation and boiler noise problems (caused by sludge and corrosion deposits) to optimum operation.

PHP Services have a wealth of experience working in the construction industry. Over many years we have participated in the design, specification and installation of many new build houses, apartment complexes and house extensions and renovations. We are completely at ease working from drawings before the project has started and many of our clients allow us to design and specify the system after detailing what it is the client requires. With our ability to offer five year warranties on many makes of boiler, and qualifications to install and notify unvented hot water systems, you can be sure we will be designing the best most efficient system for your project.

It is surprising to find out that older boilers can be as little as 60% efficient and even some relatively modern boilers are only 70-75% efficient. When compared to Vaillant condensing boilers, which are more than 90% efficient, it's clear to see the benefit from the year-on-year energy saving a system powered by Vaillant could save you. As members of the Vaillant Advance scheme, we are able to offer 7 year warranties as standard, with optional upgrades of up to ten years. If you would like to know which type of boiler would be best suited to your needs, please get in touch for some friendly advice from our expert staff.

You don't have to simply install a new bath where the old one was - think big!

PHP Services have a skilled team of professional handymen who will complete all the jobs you have around your home.

It is often taken for granted that we have heating and hot water on tap when ever we need it. At PHP Services, we know how inconvenient it can be for your family when your boiler or heating system breaks down. We provide a prompt and professional service to fully diagnose and fault find any problems. Once the problem has been diagnosed, one of our qualified engineers will remedy the problem and get your system up and running and back to normal as quickly as possible. Remember it is always better not to wait until your boiler fails.

An annual service and safety check is absolutely essential to maintain safety and avoid costly repairs. Whilst a gas safety check assesses the basic safety of a gas appliance a service will consist of a full check of a gas appliance and our engineer is likely to take the appliance apart to inspect it. The engineer will assess the physical condition of the appliance, installation pipework, air vents and any flues for deterioration. They will carry out performance tests and take any necessary remedial action.

Radiators need not be dull and conventional. With the varied range offered by Stelrad Radiator Group, we at PHP Services are confident there will be a style to suite your decor and design.

No more cold feet when you take a shower on a winter morning! Ask anyone who has under-floor heating and they will tell you it's the ultimate luxury! Under floor heating works by pumping a controlled flow of warm water from a heat source through plastic tubing embedded in the floor. Because the emitting area is large, sufficient warmth is provided even on a cold winter day with no need for supplementary heating. Also, under-floor heating can provide the most energy efficient way of running your condensing boiler.
