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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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 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.
