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
Why Ivy Chimneys customers pick us for boiler servicing

That experience means we get the spec right at the survey, not halfway through the install.
