About Church Langley

Modern estate built in the 1990s/2000s — predominantly combi-boilered family housing now reaching first major service intervals.

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 — plumbing, Church Langley

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.

Do you fit electric showers?

Yes, plus mixer, thermostatic and digital. We'll check your mains pressure first to recommend the right type.

Can you find a hidden leak?

Usually yes — we use thermal imaging and pressure testing to trace leaks behind walls and under floors before we cut anything open.
