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

Local, honest boiler repairs for The Stow homes

We've been doing boiler repairs in Harlow long enough to know which streets have shared chimneys, which estates have undersized gas supplies, and which boilers tend to fail first.

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

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

Things The Stow customers usually ask about boiler repairs

What's a fair price for this job in The Stow?

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.

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.
