About Potter Street
Original village now incorporated into Harlow, with a mix of older cottage properties and post-war housing.
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

boiler repairs in Potter Street: questions we get a lot
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 guarantee repairs?▾
Yes — 12 months on the workmanship and any parts we supply.
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.
