About The Stow
Original new-town neighbourhood centre. Many original 1960s flats with undersized gas supplies that we've upgraded over the years.
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 The Stow
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.
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.
