FAQs

Drainage in Gorbals & Laurieston — FAQs

Questions we are regularly asked about drainage in Gorbals & Laurieston.

What causes most blocked drains?
Kitchen drains block from fat and grease cooling and solidifying. Bathroom drains block from hair and soap. Outside drains block from leaves, silt and sometimes root ingress. Wet wipes are a frequent culprit in toilets regardless of what the packet claims.
How quickly can you get to Gorbals & Laurieston?
Our base at Kinloch Road in Newton Mearns is about 6.3 miles from Gorbals & Laurieston, about 25 minutes away. For emergencies we offer two slots — today after 4pm, or tomorrow morning or afternoon — and we give you an honest answer on the phone about which we can make. There is no call-out charge anywhere in G5.
Are chemical drain cleaners a good idea?
Used sparingly on a minor blockage, they can help. Used repeatedly they damage older pipework and simply mask a recurring problem. If you're reaching for them regularly, something structural needs investigating.
Do you cover all of G5?
Yes — every street in G5, and the neighbouring areas of Glasgow City Centre & Merchant City, Glasgow, Bridgeton, Dalmarnock & Calton and Finnieston, Park & Anderston. If you are on a boundary it makes no difference to the price or the service.
How quickly can you clear a blockage?
Most blockages are cleared within the visit. We also look at why it happened — a recurring pattern, a collapsed section or root ingress — so you're not calling us back for the same thing every few months.
Are you Gas Safe registered for work in Gorbals & Laurieston?
Yes. All boiler and gas work is carried out by Gas Safe registered engineers (registration 930395), and you can check us on the Gas Safe Register. We are also fully insured and every job carries a 12-month workmanship guarantee.
Who is responsible for the drain outside my property?
Broadly, private pipework within your boundary is yours, while shared sewers are typically Scottish Water's responsibility. The boundary isn't always obvious, so it's worth establishing before work starts. We'll tell you if we think it falls to them.
Do you do landlord gas safety certificates in Gorbals & Laurieston?
Yes. We carry out CP12 landlord gas safety checks across Gorbals & Laurieston, with the certificate emailed the same day. Combine it with a boiler service to save a second visit.
Why does my drain smell even when it's flowing?
Usually a dried-out or damaged trap letting sewer gas back into the property, or a build-up coating the inside of the pipe. Both are fixable and neither needs you to live with the smell.
What does a boiler repair in Gorbals & Laurieston cost?
Every job is priced up front: the engineer diagnoses the fault, confirms a fixed price on site before any work starts, and that is the price you pay. Parts and labour included, no hidden extras, and we will tell you honestly if a boiler is not worth repairing.
