Olney is a limestone market town on the River Great Ouse at the very north of Buckinghamshire, about 13 miles from our base at Grange Farm. You reach it up the A509 through Newport Pagnell, and the same road carries on north to Wellingborough. It is part of the City of Milton Keynes for council purposes but feels like a separate place: a long High Street of pale stone houses running north from the church and the Market Place, with the newer housing spread out to the north and west. Olney Town Council runs the weekly market and the town is best known for the Shrove Tuesday pancake race and for William Cowper and John Newton, whose home is now the Cowper and Newton Museum on the Market Place. The housing splits cleanly by age. The conservation area takes in the Market Place, High Street, Silver End, Church Street and Weston Road, where most buildings are 17th and 18th century limestone with solid walls and old chimneys. Red brick terraces went up on Midland Road, Newton Road and Station Road in the 1890s and 1900s for the shoe factory workers, and there are 1930s semis at Moores Hill. After the war the town grew fast: council housing at Dagnall Road in the 1950s, then estate after estate across the west side between Wellingborough Road and Weston Road, and around Aspreys and Yardley Road. Chantry Rise and Wagstaff Way near the old tannery are late 20th century, and new homes have gone up off Lavendon Road and Warrington Road since the neighbourhood plan. Anglian Water supplies the town and the water is hard, which is why we see so much scale in older boilers and hot water cylinders here.
With a population of approximately around 6,600, Olney has a varied housing stock that creates diverse heating requirements. Our Gas Safe registered engineers (registration #957816) understand the specific challenges of working in Olney's properties, from 17th and 18th century limestone houses in the conservation area around the market place, high street, silver end and weston road, many of them listed to new build homes off lavendon road and warrington road, plus flats in converted buildings like the old lace factory on the high street.

I had a great experience with the boiler annual service. Sam was very professional and friendly. I’m very happy with the service and will definitely continue using their annual service every year.
Common questions from homeowners and landlords in the Olney area.
Yes. Olney is about 13 miles from our base at Grange Farm, and in normal traffic it is about 25 minutes up the A509 through Newport Pagnell. We cover the whole MK46 area including the west side estates, the Midland Road terraces and the High Street. For anything urgent, ring the emergency line on 07805 844 016 and we will tell you honestly when we can be with you. Booked work like servicing, gas safety certificates and boiler installs we plan into a day so the travel is never your problem.
Yes, but we survey it properly first. The houses around the Market Place, High Street and Weston Road have thick limestone walls, old chimney breasts and in many cases listed status, so the flue position and any external pipework need thinking about before we quote. We agree a fixed price before work starts, so nothing changes on the day. We are Worcester Bosch Accredited, Vaillant Advance, and Baxi and Ideal approved installers, every install comes with a 12 month workmanship guarantee, and you get a free Hive thermostat with a new boiler.
Olney is on hard Anglian Water, and over the years scale builds up inside the heat exchanger and on the coil of a hot water cylinder. The boiler then has to work harder to push heat through, the water in the exchanger overheats and you hear that rumbling kettle sound. It is very common in the older houses in the conservation area and in any home that has never had the system cleaned. We check the scale and the sludge in the radiators, and depending on what we find the fix is a chemical clean, a powerflush or a new heat exchanger.
Often, yes. On the 1960s to 1980s homes across the west side of Olney and the brick terraces on Midland Road, the radiators and pipework are frequently original even when the boiler has been changed. Rust and sludge settle at the bottom of the radiators, so you get cold patches, a noisy pump and a boiler that struggles. Before we recommend a powerflush we look at the water in the system and the state of the magnetic filter. If a flush is right for your house we fit a filter afterwards so the system stays clean and the new boiler is protected.
Yes. We are Gas Safe registered (957816) and do landlord gas safety certificates across Olney, including the flats above the shops on the High Street and Market Place and the converted buildings like the old lace factory. We check every gas appliance and the flue, give you the CP12 to pass to your tenant, and if anything fails we explain clearly what needs doing and agree a fixed price before we touch it. If you have more than one property in the town we can book them on the same visit.
