Homes in Chelmsford: what we usually find

Chelmsford’s housing is a real mix. Victorian and Edwardian terraces around Moulsham and the old town often still have older pipework, gravity-fed systems and a hot water cylinder in the airing cupboard. The 1960s to 1980s estates tend to have combi or system boilers that are on their second or third replacement, and the newer developments on the north-east side have modern condensing boilers and unvented cylinders that need an annual service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty valid. Like most of Essex the water is hard, so limescale in combi heat exchangers, showers and taps is one of the most common faults we find.

Getting to you in Chelmsford

We reach Chelmsford via Halstead and Braintree on the A131. Because we are not based in the city itself, please ring first so we can tell you honestly when an engineer can get to you. If you have a burst pipe or no heating and someone closer could be quicker, we will say so. Chelmsford is about 24 miles from our Clare office as the crow flies.

We also work in Braintree, Great Dunmow, Halstead, Witham, and across the other towns and villages on our Areas We Cover page.

Chelmsford plumbing and heating FAQs

Do you cover all of Chelmsford?

Yes. We work across the city and its villages, including Springfield, Great Baddow, Broomfield, Writtle, Galleywood and the new-build areas to the north-east. Give us your postcode when you call and we will confirm availability.

My new-build boiler is still under warranty. Can you service it?

Yes. Most manufacturers ask for an annual service by a Gas Safe registered engineer to keep the warranty valid. We complete the service, fill in the Benchmark service record and give you a written record for your files.

Can you sort the plumbing and the electrics in one visit?

Often, yes. We are a plumbing, heating and electrical firm with NAPIT electricians, so jobs like a new bathroom with an extractor fan and shower wiring can be planned as one piece of work.
