Trusted for heating upgrades across Ivy Chimneys
Our heating upgrades work in Epping is built around three things: doing it properly, charging fairly, and being there afterwards if you need us.
Cast-iron radiators are common in older Epping homes. We handle these carefully on power flushes — the wrong approach can dislodge sediment and cause leaks.
If something plays up in the first year, we come back and sort it. No quibbles, no callout fee.
About Ivy Chimneys
Established residential area south-west of Epping with predominantly post-war housing.
Inter-war semis and 1930s detached homes dominate, with newer infill closer to the station and conservation-sensitive areas near the forest.
- Original fireplace back boilers still in many 1930s homes
- Tree protection orders can affect external pipe and flue routing
- Older systems with cast-iron radiators need careful flushing

heating upgrades in Ivy Chimneys: questions we get a lot
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 I really need a power flush?▾
If radiators have cold patches, your boiler is noisy, or you're fitting a new boiler to an older system, yes. Otherwise a chemical flush and magnetic filter is often enough.
Will a smart thermostat actually save money?▾
Yes — typically 8–12% off heating bills if you use the scheduling and zone features properly. Hive and Nest both pay back inside two years for most households.
