About Old Harlow
The historic centre of Harlow with period properties pre-dating the new town. Conservation considerations affect external flue placement.
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

That experience means we get the spec right at the survey, not halfway through the install.

Quick answers on boiler repairs in Old Harlow
What's a fair price for this job in Old Harlow?▾
Pricing depends on the boiler, the existing pipework, and any system upgrades needed. We're typically 10-20% under the big national chains because we don't carry their overheads — and the workmanship is better.
Are quotes free?▾
Yes — quotes are always free, in writing, and there's no obligation. We don't do high-pressure sales.
How fast can you come out?▾
We aim for same-day on no-heat and no-hot-water situations. Tell us when you call if anyone elderly or with young children is in the property — we prioritise.
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.
