What's actually included in a boiler service?
Combustion analysis, flue integrity check, gas tightness test, inspection of seals and pipework, a check of controls and thermostats, and a pressure and expansion vessel check. You get documentation on completion recording what was tested.
Do you install new boilers in Pollok & Darnley?
Yes. We supply and fit A-rated combi and system boilers throughout Pollok & Darnley, including removing and disposing of the old unit, commissioning, balancing the system and registering the manufacturer warranty. Sizing advice is honest — we fit what your home needs, not the biggest unit we could sell.
Is a service the same as a CP12?
No, and it's worth understanding the difference. A CP12 confirms gas appliances are safe to use, which is the legal requirement for landlords. A full service goes further, covering efficiency and wear items. Many landlords book both together in one visit.
My radiators are cold at the top — what's wrong?
That's usually trapped air, and bleeding the radiator often fixes it. If it keeps coming back, or radiators are cold at the bottom instead, that points to sludge or a balancing problem rather than air. Plenty of the housing association stock, terraces and newer estates in Pollok & Darnley have systems old enough for build-up to be the culprit.
How long does a service take?
Usually 45 minutes to an hour for a single boiler, assuming reasonable access and no faults found. A CP12 covering several appliances takes a bit longer.
Can you help with plumbing as well as boilers in Pollok & Darnley?
Yes — we're not boiler-only. We handle kitchen and bathroom plumbing, taps, showers, toilets, hot and cold pipework, leaks and drainage across Pollok & Darnley. It often means one visit sorts several jobs instead of booking separate trades.
Will servicing void or protect my warranty?
Protect it. Most manufacturers require documented annual servicing as a warranty condition — skip a year and a future claim can be refused even if the fault is unrelated. Keep the paperwork we give you.
What areas near Pollok & Darnley do you also cover?
We regularly work in Nitshill, Thornliebank and Crookston as well as Pollok & Darnley itself. Our coverage runs across Greater Glasgow and into Glasgow City, so if you're nearby but not listed on our site, it's worth a quick call to 0141 374 0545.
When is the best time of year to book?
Late summer or early autumn. Everyone books in the first cold week of the year, so slots get tight exactly when you most want one. Servicing before the heating season starts also means any fault found is fixed before you depend on it.
Do you guarantee your work in Pollok & Darnley?

If something we've worked on fails within that period we come back and put it right — and since Pollok & Darnley is on our regular route, returning is straightforward.
