We have been using AJL Plumbing for a number of years now. In our opinion they always give the right advice for what you need and not necessarily what makes them more profit! So friendly, helpful and quick to respond.I would definitely recommend using them for all your plumbing requirements.

100% recommend Andy, he’s been out to my property twice and on both occasions I have absolutely 100% trust in this guy to let himself into my property? Carry out the work and leave it like he’s never been here. Andy has carried out both a repair and boiler installation genuine tradesmen? 👌

Sam Bearman
I contacted AJL Plumbing & Heating when my boiler randomly stopped working. Despite midday, they were out on site within 2hrs and rectified the issue immediately. They also priced for radiator replacements and have since came back and fitted them expertly. All reasonably priced with decent service. I will continue using these guys in the future.
Frequently Asked Questions
General Questions

We're based in Wickford but cover the whole of Essex, Kent and London, including Chelmsford, Basildon, Southend, Billericay, Brentwood, Grays, Braintree and Witham. If you're not sure whether your address is in our area, give us a call on 0800 002 5129 and we'll let you know.
What are your opening hours?
We run 24/7 for genuine plumbing and heating emergencies, leaks, breakdowns, no heating, no hot water. For booked jobs, we'll arrange a time that works for you.
Do you charge for quotes?
No. We give you a fair, expected price range upon enquiry, free of charge. For larger jobs we'll come out and give you a proper survey-based quote before you commit to anything.
Are you Gas Safe registered?
Yes, fully Gas Safe registered. All gas work is carried out by qualified engineers and you can ask to see the Gas Safe ID card at any time.
Do you handle emergencies?
Yes. We run 24/7 emergency cover for genuine plumbing and heating issues. Call 0800 002 5129, we're never far away when you need us most.
What's the life expectancy for a boiler?
Modern boilers are designed to last at least 10 years under normal use, and many run well beyond that with annual servicing. Regular servicing also keeps your manufacturer warranty valid.
Do you install radiators?
Yes. We supply and fit radiators starting from £200+VAT. We'll talk you through sizing and style to make sure the radiator suits the room.
Which boiler brands do you fit?
We work with all the major boiler brands. We'll recommend the best option for your home, budget and warranty preferences before fitting.
Do you handle small jobs?
Absolutely. We cover everything from a tap change through to larger installations, no job's too small to call us about.
Should I be concerned about a leak if the water board have contacted me about my water usage?
Usually no. Most of the time it comes down to something simple, a worn inlet valve on a toilet or a dripping tap. We can come and find the source and stop the waste quickly.
Is air conditioning expensive to run?
Modern units are very energy-efficient for both heating and cooling, so running costs are much lower than older systems. They're often cheaper to run as a heater than separate room heaters.
Can air conditioning heat my room too?
Yes. Modern units provide both cooling in summer and heating in winter from the same system, one tidy install, year-round comfort.
My indoor unit is leaking, is it broken?
Almost certainly not. Air conditioning units create condensation as part of normal operation, and a visible leak is usually a blocked pipe or a tired condensate pump rather than a fault with the unit itself. We can fix it quickly.
How expensive is a new bathroom?
There's no set figure, every bathroom is different to the last. Most of the time it's as expensive as you want to make it. We'll give you a price range up front based on what you're after, with no hidden extras.
