Question 1

What do we need to think about before running water to a garden room in Bothwell?

Accepted Answer

Four things, and all of them while the ground is still open. Depth, so the pipe stays below frost, and marking so the next person digging knows it is there. A valve and a drain point at the house end so the whole outside run can be shut off and emptied without going outdoors, which is what makes a building safe to leave unheated. Where used water is going and whether there is fall to get it there, because that decides whether a sink is even possible. And if heating is going out there, what that does to the rest of the house. Call 07988 591331.

Question 2

Do you cover all of Glasgow?

Accepted Answer

Yes, every Glasgow postcode from our G3 base at Fitzroy Place, plus well beyond the city itself. Call 07988 591331 and tell us your postcode, we'll give you a straight answer on timing.

Question 3

Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?

Accepted Answer

Every gas engineer on the team holds current registration. Mo, Muhammad and David are all Gas Safe registered. Ask to see the card when we arrive, any legitimate gas engineer will show you without hesitation.

Question 4

Do you give a price before starting any work?

Accepted Answer

Always. Clear price on site before any work begins, and that's what ends up on the invoice, not a revised figure halfway through.

Question 5

What's the difference between this page and your emergency plumber page?

Accepted Answer

This page is the general one, plumbing, heating, gas and drainage, booked or urgent. Our emergency plumber page is specifically for genuine emergencies, burst pipes, no heating, active flooding, where every minute matters. Either number reaches the same team.

Question 6

Do you take on small jobs, or only bigger ones?

Accepted Answer

Both. A dripping tap gets the same straight answer and clear price as a full bathroom refit. We don't have a minimum job size that's too small to bother with.

Question 7

Can plumbing, heating and gas all get sorted in the same visit?

Accepted Answer

Often, yes. If a boiler fault turns out to need a gas check, or a leak turns out to be a heating system issue, the same engineer handles it rather than you having to book someone else in separately.

Question 8

Do you use subcontractors?

Accepted Answer

No. Mo, Muhammad, David, Paul, Kyle and Matt are the team, the same people on every job, not a rotating list of subcontractors working to someone else's standard, and not a franchise badge on a van with a different business behind it.

Question 9

I'm a landlord with several Glasgow properties, can you handle all of them?

Accepted Answer

Yes, we work with landlords managing multiple properties regularly, CP12 renewals, boiler servicing and reactive repairs across a portfolio, coordinated so you're not chasing separate contractors for each address.

Question 10

How do I know which specific service page to look at instead of this one?

Accepted Answer

Honestly, you don't need to work that out yourself. Call the number on this page, describe what's wrong, and we'll point you at the right service, or just get on with fixing it. The specific pages exist for search, not because you need to self-diagnose.

Question 11

Do you work evenings and weekends?

Accepted Answer

Yes, our regular hours are Monday to Saturday 8am to 6pm, with the team on call 24/7 for genuine emergencies outside that.

Question 12

Are you insured?

Accepted Answer

Yes, £5m public liability insurance, and the whole team is background-checked. Details available if you'd like to see them before we start, we're happy to send proof over before you commit to anything.

Question 13

Do you offer any kind of ongoing maintenance arrangement?

Accepted Answer

For landlords and larger properties we can line up annual boiler servicing and CP12 renewals on a schedule rather than booking each one separately as it comes due. Ask when you call.

Question 14

Do I need to be in for the whole visit?

Accepted Answer

For most jobs, yes, at least at the start so we can talk through what's actually wrong before we start. For straightforward, pre-agreed work we can sometimes arrange key access, we'll talk it through when you book.

Question 15

What if the job turns out bigger than expected once you're here?

Accepted Answer

We'll stop, explain what we've found, and give you a revised price before doing anything beyond what was originally agreed. You're never billed for extra work you haven't said yes to.

Question 16

Can you give a rough price over the phone before you come out?

Accepted Answer

For some very straightforward jobs, yes, roughly. For most, especially anything involving diagnosis, we'll give you an honest range at best and confirm the exact price once we've actually seen it.

Question 17

Do you offer a guarantee across all your work, not just emergencies?

Accepted Answer

Yes, 12 months on parts and labour for anything we fit or repair, whichever trade the job falls under.

Question 18

Do you do quotes for bigger jobs like bathroom or kitchen work?

Accepted Answer

Yes, for larger jobs we'll usually come out, have a proper look and measure up, then give you a written quote rather than a phone estimate, so there's no ambiguity before work starts.

Question 19

What happens if I need to reschedule a booked appointment?

Accepted Answer

Just call and let us know as early as you can. We'd rather move a booking than have you wait in for a slot that no longer suits, and there's no penalty for giving us reasonable notice, we'll simply find the next time that works for both of us.

Question 20

Can we heat an outbuilding off the house system?

Accepted Answer

Often, and it is worth asking what it does to the rest of the house first. An outbuilding on the end of the house circuit becomes the furthest point on the system, which means it is last in the queue for flow and it can quietly cool the far rooms indoors. On a system with capacity to spare it works well. On one that was already struggling at the far end it makes an existing problem worse, so the honest thing is to look at the whole system rather than only the new bit.

Question 21

How do we protect an outside supply over winter?

Accepted Answer

Isolate it and drain it, which needs a valve and a drain point fitted at the house end. Turn the valve, open the drain, and the outside run empties so there is nothing in it to freeze. That is the whole of it, and it takes seconds once the fittings exist. Without them, the only options are keeping the building heated all winter or accepting the risk, and the risk is a split pipe under whatever you put back over the trench.
