About Ivy Chimneys

Established residential area south-west of Epping with predominantly post-war housing.

Inter-war semis and 1930s detached homes dominate, with newer infill closer to the station and conservation-sensitive areas near the forest.

  • Original fireplace back boilers still in many 1930s homes
  • Tree protection orders can affect external pipe and flue routing
  • Older systems with cast-iron radiators need careful flushing

Frequently asked questions — boiler repairs, Ivy Chimneys

Is it dangerous to keep topping up?

Not immediately — but the cause needs finding. Repeated top-ups mean fresh oxygenated water keeps entering the system, which corrodes radiators and pumps from the inside.

Where do hidden leaks usually hide?

Pressure relief valve discharging outside, perished pump seals, pinhole leaks at radiator valves, or a failing expansion vessel. Each one has a different fix.

Do you guarantee repairs?

Yes — 12 months on the workmanship and any parts we supply.

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.
