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
Why Potter Street customers pick us for boiler installs
We've been doing boiler installations 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.
We do a steady stream of back-boiler removals across the original new town housing — the 1960s installations are now well past replacement age.

Common questions about boiler installs in Potter Street
Where do boiler leaks usually come from?▾
Most common: pressure relief valve discharging because system pressure is too high, a perished pump seal, or a failing heat exchanger on older units. We diagnose properly rather than guess.
Should I turn the boiler off?▾
If water is actively dripping and you can see it pooling, yes — switch the boiler off at the spur, and turn the system pressure down via the filling loop if you can. Then call us.
How much does a new boiler cost fitted?▾
Most combi swaps run £2,200–£3,800 fitted depending on brand and any system upgrades. We give you a written fixed price after a free survey — no obligation.
Which boiler brand do you recommend?▾
Worcester Bosch and Vaillant for long warranties and parts availability; Ideal Logic Max for budget-conscious installs. We'll explain trade-offs honestly.
