About Thorley
South-west Stortford with strong post-war housing stock. Steady volume of boiler swaps.
Strong mix — Victorian terraces in the old centre, post-war housing in Thorley, and large new-build estates expanding north.
- New-build combi boilers approaching first major service interval
- Victorian terrace flue routing constraints
- Hard water from the chalk aquifer accelerates scale build-up in heat exchangers

Frequently asked questions — boiler servicing, Thorley
Are Glow-worm and Vaillant the same?▾
Same parent group, often shared componentry, but Glow-worm sits at a lower price point with shorter warranties. Good value for rental properties.
How long does a service take?▾
Usually 45–60 minutes for a domestic boiler in normal condition.
How often should a boiler be serviced?▾
Once a year. It's almost always required to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid, and it catches small issues before they become breakdowns.
