About Old Harlow

The historic centre of Harlow with period properties pre-dating the new town. Conservation considerations affect external flue placement.

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

Why Old Harlow customers pick us for boiler servicing

We've been doing boiler services 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.

And we don't cut corners on the bits you can't see — proper pipework, magnetic filter, full system flush where needed.
