No hot water in South Street? Plumbing sorted properly
No hot water but heating still works? On a combi, that's almost always a diverter valve, diaphragm or PCB issue. We carry the common parts, diagnose on-site and usually get it fixed in one visit across South Street. For plumbing jobs in South Street we work cleanly, isolate properly, and never just clamp a leak when it needs a proper soldered or pressed joint.

About South Street
Older central Stortford street with period properties and conservation considerations.
Strong mix — Victorian terraces in the old centre, post-war housing in Thorley, and large new-build estates expanding north.
- New-build combi boilers approaching first major service interval
- Victorian terrace flue routing constraints
- Hard water from the chalk aquifer accelerates scale build-up in heat exchangers
Why South Street customers pick us for plumbing
We've been doing plumbing jobs in Bishop's Stortford long enough to know which streets have shared chimneys, which estates have undersized gas supplies, and which boilers tend to fail first.
That experience means we get the spec right at the survey, not halfway through the install.
And we don't cut corners on the bits you can't see — proper pipework, magnetic filter, full system flush where needed.

Things South Street customers usually ask about plumbing
Why have I lost hot water but heating still works?▾
On a combi boiler this is the classic diverter valve symptom — the valve that switches the flame between heating and hot water has stuck. Common, and usually a one-visit fix.
How much will it cost?▾
Diverter valve replacement on most boilers is £180–£320 fitted. We'll give you a fixed price after diagnosis before any work starts.
How fast can you respond to a burst pipe?▾
We aim for same-day. Call us first — we can talk you through stopping the water immediately while we head over.
Can you find a hidden leak?▾
Usually yes — we use thermal imaging and pressure testing to trace leaks behind walls and under floors before we cut anything open.
