Harlow CM17–CM20 Boiler, Heating and Plumbing Specialists
Harlow is a New Town, and that means a very specific housing stock with very specific heating problems. Ageing system boilers, district-heating legacy pipework and post-war concrete construction are our daily reality here.
Why we're the right team for Harlow.
Harlow's housing stock is unusual: large numbers of post-war and 1960s council-built terraces and maisonettes, mid-rise blocks, and pockets of modern infill across the Old Harlow, Church Langley, Newhall and Staple Tye neighbourhoods. The boilers fitted here are often replacements of replacements, and the underlying pipework tells a 60-year story. We've made Harlow's quirks (Bison floors, communal flues, district-heating legacy runs, concrete-cast pipe routes) one of our specialisms.

Concrete reasons, not slogans.
Harlow stock specialists
Most engineers haven't worked Bison concrete floors or surface-mount maisonette flues, we have, hundreds of times. That experience saves time and rework on Harlow jobs.
Honest about replace vs repair
Many Harlow boilers are at the end of their service life. We tell you straight which side of that line yours sits, with the numbers to back it up, no scare-selling.
Communal flue confident
Several Harlow blocks have shared flue systems (SE-duct, U-duct, twin-wall). We know which categories of boiler are legal and safe on each, avoiding mid-job U-turns.
Landlord-friendly
Harlow has a large private-rental market. We hold appointment blocks specifically for local letting agents and run a renewal calendar so CP12s never lapse.
The faults we see specifically in Harlow properties.
1960s communal flue boilers
Several blocks across CM18 and CM20 still rely on SE-duct flues with original commissioned boilers. We assess, recommend a compatible replacement and handle the paperwork.
Bison concrete-floor pipework
Bison-floor properties have heating pipes cast directly into the structural floor, repairs need careful planning. We re-route surface where it makes sense and work around the structure where it doesn't.
First-generation UFH in Newhall / Church Langley
Early-2000s Newhall and Church Langley homes have UFH manifolds where actuators and pumps are now failing. We service, replace and rebalance, far cheaper than ripping up floor finishes.
District-heating legacy connections
Some older Harlow properties still have dormant district-heating connections that complicate boiler replacement. We disconnect safely and certify the standalone installation.
A clear, step-by-step system.
The same proven workflow on every Harlow job.
