Can you fit a new kitchen or bathroom suite?
Yes — we handle the plumbing side: sinks, basins, taps, showers, toilets, waste pipes and connections. We work alongside your fitter or tiler, or on our own if the rest is already done.
How often should a boiler be serviced?
Once a year is the standard recommendation, and most manufacturers require it to keep the warranty valid. For Erskine landlords the annual gas safety check is a legal requirement regardless. Booking in late summer usually gets you a better choice of slots than waiting for the first cold snap.
My tap drips constantly — is that worth fixing?
Yes. A dripping tap wastes a surprising amount of water over a year and the constant flow gradually damages the seat. It's usually a worn washer or cartridge and a quick fix — far cheaper than the water it wastes.
What should I do if I smell gas at my Erskine 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 25 minutes from our base.
Why is my shower pressure so weak?
Common causes are a blocked shower head, a partially closed isolation valve, low mains pressure, or a failing shower pump if you have one. Diagnosis is quick and the fix is often inexpensive.
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 Erskine 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.
Can you fix a running toilet?
Yes, and it's worth doing promptly — a continuously running toilet can waste hundreds of litres a day. It's normally a worn flush valve or float, and usually repairable without replacing the whole cistern.
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 Erskine properties, a pressure test is usually the quickest way to find the cause.
Do you fit electric showers?
We handle the plumbing side. The electrical connection must be done by a qualified electrician, and we'll coordinate rather than cut corners on it. If your existing shower is being replaced like-for-like it's often simpler.
Can you fit radiators or move one in Erskine?
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 Erskine home heats evenly instead of one being roasting and another cold.
