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

About Matching Tye

Quiet rural hamlet east of Harlow with a tight cluster of period and modern detached homes around the green. Many properties off the mains gas grid with LPG or oil heating.

Detached period and modern infill. Several listed properties affecting flue placement.

  • 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

Common questions about boiler repairs in Matching Tye

How often should I need to top up?

A healthy sealed system should hold pressure for 6-12 months between top-ups. Anything more frequent points to a leak.

Could it be the expansion vessel?

Yes — a perished expansion vessel inside the boiler is a common cause. We test the vessel as part of diagnosis.

Do you charge a callout fee?

We charge a clear diagnostic fee (told to you upfront before we attend). It covers proper on-site diagnosis. The repair itself is then quoted as a fixed price you agree before any work starts.

Do you guarantee repairs?

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