Leaking in Harlow? Boiler repairs sorted properly

Trusted for boiler repairs across Harlow

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.

About Harlow

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

Frequently asked questions — boiler repairs, Harlow

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.

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.

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.
