What should I do right now if I smell gas?
Leave the property. Don't switch anything on or off, don't use your phone inside, and open doors on the way out if you can do so quickly. Call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 — free, 24 hours. Call us afterwards for the repair.
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.
Who do I call first — you or the emergency line?
The emergency line, always: 0800 111 999. They attend to make the situation safe and will isolate the supply if needed. We handle the repair work once the immediate danger is dealt with.
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.
What are the signs of a gas leak besides the smell?
A hissing near pipework or appliances, a yellow or orange flame rather than crisp blue, black sooty marks around an appliance, and unusually high gas bills. Feeling unwell, drowsy or getting headaches indoors that ease when you leave is a serious warning sign.
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.
What is a gas tightness test?
A pressure test of your gas installation that reveals whether gas is escaping anywhere between the meter and your appliances. It's part of a gas safety check and the standard first step when a leak is suspected.
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.
Do I need a carbon monoxide alarm?
Strongly recommended, and required in rented properties in Scotland where there's a fuel-burning appliance. Carbon monoxide has no smell and the symptoms mimic flu, so an alarm is the only reliable warning.

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.
