How do I know if I have a hidden water leak?
Watch for an unexplained rise in your water bill, damp patches or staining on walls and ceilings, a musty smell, or the sound of running water when everything is off. If your stopcock is closed and the meter still moves, there's a leak.
What should I do if I smell gas at my Jordanhill & Anniesland property?
Treat it as an emergency. Leave the property, don't touch light switches or anything that could spark, and call the National Gas Emergency Service on 0800 111 999 straight away — before calling us. They attend free, around the clock, and will isolate the supply if needed. Once it's safe, we'll come out to repair the pipework or appliance, and about 22 minutes away.
Why is my water pressure low throughout the house?
Could be a partially closed stopcock, corroded old pipework narrowing the bore, a pressure-reducing valve, or a supply issue affecting your street. We test to identify which before recommending anything.
Do I need to be home for the engineer?
Someone over 18 needs to provide access and be there while gas work is carried out at your Jordanhill & Anniesland property. If you're arranging it for a tenant or an elderly relative, that's fine — just give us their contact details when you book so we can coordinate directly.
Should old lead or steel pipes be replaced?
Lead supply pipework should be replaced — it's a genuine health concern and worth prioritising. Corroded galvanised steel restricts flow and discolours water. Both are common in older Glasgow tenements and period properties.
Why is my boiler losing pressure?
Most often a small leak somewhere in the system, a worn pressure relief valve, or a failing expansion vessel. Topping up occasionally is normal; needing to do it every few days is not. Given the age of the heating in many Jordanhill & Anniesland properties, a pressure test is usually the quickest way to find the cause.
What is a water filter or inhibitor for?
An inhibitor protects the heating system from corrosion and limescale. A mains filter addresses water quality at the tap. Different purposes — we'll advise which is relevant to your situation rather than selling both by default.
Can you fit radiators or move one in Jordanhill & Anniesland?
Yes — new radiator installs, replacements and relocations, sized properly for the room rather than guessed. We'll balance the system afterwards so every room in your Jordanhill & Anniesland home heats evenly instead of one being roasting and another cold.
Can you run new pipework for an extension?
Yes — hot and cold supply runs, waste, and heating pipework for extensions, loft conversions and garage conversions. Easiest before plastering, so bring us in during the build rather than afterwards.
Do you take card payment in Jordanhill & Anniesland?
Yes — card or bank transfer, paid on completion unless we've agreed otherwise in writing beforehand. You'll have the itemised price before any work starts, so there are no surprises when it comes to settling up in Jordanhill & Anniesland.
