About Matching Tye

Quiet rural hamlet east of Harlow with a tight cluster of period and modern detached homes around the green. Many properties off the mains gas grid with LPG or oil heating.

Detached period and modern infill. Several listed properties affecting flue placement.

  • 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

Quick answers on boiler servicing in Matching Tye

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 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.
