Looking for a Plumber in Rickmansworth?
1st Avenue Gas Plumbing & Heating Services is a family-run, Gas Safe registered firm based in Bushey, and we have been looking after homes in Rickmansworth and across WD3 for years. Whether you need a new boiler, an annual service, an emergency repair or a full bathroom, you will get an honest price and a job done properly.
Rickmansworth is a comfortable run west from our Bushey base, and we cover WD3 including Croxley Green, Chorleywood, Mill End and Loudwater.
The Homes We Work On in Rickmansworth
Rickmansworth and the surrounding villages have a notably mixed housing stock. Around the town and Croxley Green there is a good deal of Edwardian and inter-war housing, much of it now on its second or third boiler. Chorleywood and Loudwater bring larger detached properties, some on generous plots backing onto the Chess valley, where heating loads are high and systems benefit from proper zoning. Out towards Mill End and the canal there are older cottages and converted buildings with solid walls, awkward layouts and occasionally no mains gas at all. That last point matters: parts of WD3 sit off the gas network, and we are regularly asked about the options where a property runs on oil or LPG, or where a homeowner is considering the move away from fossil fuel heating entirely.
We work throughout Rickmansworth town, Croxley Green, Chorleywood and Mill End. In the older canal-side and village properties we pay close attention to frost protection — exposed pipework in unheated outbuildings and cellars is the commonest cause of the winter burst pipes we get called to in this area, and lagging it properly is a cheap insurance policy.
