About Newhall

Modern award-winning development with high-spec combi installs as standard. Approaching first major service interval.

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

What you get when you book us

  • Boiler Plus compliant installs
  • MagnaCleanse and Kamco flushing equipment
  • BTU sizing calculations for radiator changes
  • Smart thermostat brand-agnostic — Hive, Nest, Tado, Honeywell, Drayton
  • Rebalancing included with every flush

Things Newhall customers usually ask about heating upgrades

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 I really need a power flush?

If radiators have cold patches, your boiler is noisy, or you're fitting a new boiler to an older system, yes. Otherwise a chemical flush and magnetic filter is often enough.

How much does a power flush cost?

Typically £450–£750 depending on system size and number of radiators. We give a fixed price after a quick survey.
