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

What you get when you book us

  • Manufacturer-spec procedure followed
  • CP12 landlord certificates available
  • Warranty paperwork preserved
  • Written service report supplied
  • Annual reminders so you don't forget
