Welcome to Bishop’s Stortford Plumbing & Heating, your local trusted contractor. Offering a workforce of highly experienced engineers to support all your service, maintenance, and installation needs.


Bishops Stortford Plumbing & Heating (BSPH) engineers are experts in central heating, boilers, and hot water systems. This is backed up with all lead engineers being qualified in Gas or Oil, so you can rest assured you are in safe hands. We will only ever send an appropriately qualified engineer to carry out the works that you need.


We have a combination of over 50 years of experience within the industry, and there is nothing that we have not seen or had to deal with. Maybe your boiler has stopped working and has reached a point where it is uneconomical to repair. We are here to help and happy to provide free written quotations and discuss the best options suitable for your heating needs. Old heating systems can be very non-efficient, and the savings from a replacement can be quite surprising. There are many options available when upgrading, and we will advise you of all of these.


Along with household boilers, we also supply, fit and repair swimming pool boilers too; we have vast experience with them and will have your system back up and running quickly and efficiently.


That’s not to say that it needs replacement because your old heating system may have broken down. Often, some simple diagnostics and you could be back up and running within no time. We pride ourselves on being as honest as possible, and we are firm believers in finding out the customers needs first and then trying as hard as we can to make them a reality. We are qualified and able to offer installation and central heating repairs on both Gas and Oil boilers.


Along with central heating works we are specialists in hot water systems too. You may have a conventional vented cylinder or even an unvented pressurised hot water cylinder that has started to leak. A BSPH installer can quickly rectify either of these. We can also offer a conversion from vented to pressurised, giving you the added advantages of mains pressure hot water and removing the cold water storage tank freeing up space. Give us a call to arrange a no-obligation quotation and to discuss your options 01279 976 975


The bathroom is one of the most used rooms in any house, and our highly trained plumbers have carried out many re-modelling projects over the years. We can offer a complete package from start to finish and coordinate other trades we work with to ensure that a new installation will run as smooth as possible, causing you the slightest disturbance.

Do some of your radiators not fully heat up?


Does your radiator feel cold at the top? This can be due to air that has built up and, in a lot of cases, can simply be removed using a bleed key. It is a simple process for someone with basic DIY skills and just a case of opening up the bleed point. Releasing the air and then closing it off. If you have a pressurised heating system, it may, however, mean that you will need to top up the pressure at the same time. 


Cold spots in the middle of the radiator or at the bottom can be due to sludge and debris buildup. We can a lot of the time remove all of this by power flushing the system. 


Doing this will not only improve the heat output of the radiators but will mean the life of the internal components of your central heating system should be extended too. We can also fit a Magnetic filter at the same time, which will collect and future debris buildup.

Why should my boiler be serviced every 12 months?

Its good practice to have a yearly service carried out on your boiler. Just like a car as they get used parts can become worn, things will need cleaning and its important for total piece of mind to have a professional inspect it to check that everything is functioning correctly. New boilers do have fail safe devices built into them but it’s always a good idea to catch any potential issues early on to prevent a boiler breakdown or costly repairs that could have been avoided. We can arrange a yearly service and send reminders a few weeks before they are due offering you piece of mind that you will never miss another service again.

I called Aaron to arrange a quotation for a new boiler as I had already had someone else look at it who had advised it needed replacement and had quoted in excess of £2,000 After 15 minutes of arrival he actually managed to fix it to my amazement. I can not recommend him enough. He's a genuine hard working guy that really cares about people.

If you are looking for a totally honest transparent company then congratulations. Look no further.  We had a new radiators installed and also thermostatic radiator valves and we could not be more happy with the outcome. Good service, polite guys, clean and tidy..... 5* From us.

The old heating system had been part removed. Aaron inspected the requirements and weighed up the options available of full replacement vs trying to save the old part. I am glad I went for the full system its so warm and the service was second to none. If you need any heating or plumbing works carried out then I have no hesitation in recommending him and his team !
