About Matching Green

One of the largest village greens in Essex, ringed with period cottages and listed buildings. Heating work here often touches conservation considerations and chimney capping for back-boiler removals.

Period cottages, several Grade II listed. Chimney work needs careful conservation handling.

  • 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

Matching Green homeowners trust us for boiler repairs — here's why

Our boiler repairs work in Harlow is built around three things: doing it properly, charging fairly, and being there afterwards if you need us.

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

If something plays up in the first year, we come back and sort it. No quibbles, no callout fee.

boiler repairs in Matching Green: questions we get a lot

How quickly can you actually get out?

For genuine emergencies in Matching Green — no heat, no hot water, an active leak — we aim for same-day. We'll tell you straight when we call back if a faster response isn't possible.

Do you charge an emergency callout fee?

We charge a clear diagnostic fee, told to you upfront before we set off. The repair itself is then quoted as a fixed price you agree before any work starts.

Are you 24/7?

We aren't a true 24-hour service — we're a small family business — but we pick up early and stay late, and we prioritise vulnerable households and no-heat situations through the day.

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.

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.
