No hot water in Harlow? Plumbing sorted properly
No hot water but heating still works? On a combi, that's almost always a diverter valve, diaphragm or PCB issue. We carry the common parts, diagnose on-site and usually get it fixed in one visit across Harlow. For plumbing jobs in Harlow we work cleanly, isolate properly, and never just clamp a leak when it needs a proper soldered or pressed joint.

About Harlow
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

Learn moreLocal, honest plumbing for Harlow homes
We've been doing plumbing jobs in Harlow long enough to know which streets have shared chimneys, which estates have undersized gas supplies, and which boilers tend to fail first.
That experience means we get the spec right at the survey, not halfway through the install.
Concrete-floor leaks are unusually common in Harlow's post-war housing — we use thermal imaging to trace them before lifting anything.

Quick answers on plumbing in Harlow
Why have I lost hot water but heating still works?▾
On a combi boiler this is the classic diverter valve symptom — the valve that switches the flame between heating and hot water has stuck. Common, and usually a one-visit fix.
How much will it cost?▾
Diverter valve replacement on most boilers is £180–£320 fitted. We'll give you a fixed price after diagnosis before any work starts.
Do you fit electric showers?▾
Yes, plus mixer, thermostatic and digital. We'll check your mains pressure first to recommend the right type.
How fast can you respond to a burst pipe?▾
We aim for same-day. Call us first — we can talk you through stopping the water immediately while we head over.
