About 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

Frequently asked questions — boiler servicing, 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.

How often should a boiler be serviced?

Once a year. It's almost always required to keep the manufacturer's warranty valid, and it catches small issues before they become breakdowns.

Do you do landlord CP12 certificates?

Yes — combined service + CP12 packages available, with bulk pricing for landlords with multiple properties.
