Most The Stow repair callouts we diagnose and fix on the first visit — common parts (PRVs, diverters, pumps, PCBs) live on the van.

Trusted for boiler repairs across The Stow

Our boiler repairs work in Harlow is built around three things: doing it properly, charging fairly, and being there afterwards if you need us.

Diverter valve and PCB faults are particularly common across Harlow's older Worcester 24i and Vaillant ecoTEC units installed in the 2008–2014 boom.

If something plays up in the first year, we come back and sort it. No quibbles, no callout fee.

About The Stow

Original new-town neighbourhood centre. Many original 1960s flats with undersized gas supplies that we've upgraded over the years.

Predominantly 1950s–70s post-war housing with a mix of terraces, semis, and 60s-built flats. Pockets of older stock around Old Harlow.

  • Original 1960s flats often have undersized gas supply pipes that limit modern combi performance
  • Older Old Harlow properties frequently have low mains water pressure that affects combi choice
  • Many 60s/70s back boilers still in service — our regular work involves removing these and reinstating fireplaces

Things The Stow customers usually ask about boiler repairs

Are you open right now?

We answer the phone from early morning until late evening on most days. Even outside hours, leave a message and we usually call back within a couple of hours for genuine emergencies.

Should I call a national 24/7 firm instead?

If you need someone literally on-site at 3am, the national chains have that. If you can wait a few hours, you'll usually get a better job, a fairer price and a real engineer by waiting for us.

Is it worth repairing an old boiler?

Honest answer: if it's over 12 years old and the repair is more than £400, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We'll lay out both options without pressure.

Do you guarantee repairs?

Yes — 12 months on the workmanship and any parts we supply.
