Learn moreAbout Katherines
Newer estate on Harlow's western edge with predominantly combi-boilered housing.
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

Common questions about boiler repairs in Katherines
Do you charge more on weekends?▾
Saturdays are charged at our standard day rate. Sunday emergency callouts carry a small uplift — we'll tell you the exact figure before you commit.
Can I book a routine service for a Saturday?▾
Yes — Saturdays are popular for services and CP12s, so book a couple of weeks ahead if you can.
Do you guarantee repairs?▾
Yes — 12 months on the workmanship and any parts we supply.
Is it worth repairing an old boiler?▾
Honest answer: if it's over 12 years old and the repair is more than £400, replacement usually makes more financial sense. We'll lay out both options without pressure.
