Mo's team cover the whole Southside for plumbing, heating, gas and drainage. Boiler breakdowns, blocked drains, bathroom installations, burst pipes, gas safety certificates. You do not need to work out whether it is a plumber or a heating engineer before you ring. We have been working in Southside properties for 25 years and we know them well.
Tell us what's up, we usually get back within the hour with a clear price.
The Southside is our most active patch across the whole range of services we offer. Boiler repairs in Shawlands, drainage in Govanhill, bathroom installations in Pollokshields, the full spectrum of what a plumber does in Glasgow's most densely populated residential area.
The Southside of Glasgow is the city's most populous residential area. Running south from the Clyde through Tradeston, Gorbals, Govanhill, Pollokshields, Shawlands, Battlefield and out towards Cathcart and the suburbs beyond, it is a long, varied and densely packed stretch of residential Glasgow. The housing is predominantly Victorian and Edwardian, built in the decades of Glasgow's industrial expansion, with more recent social housing and modern apartment developments interspersed. This mix of old and new creates a wide variety of plumbing and heating needs.
Older Southside properties present the challenges of age. Retrofitted central heating in buildings not designed for it. Original clay drainage shared between flats. Boilers that have been changed multiple times by different owners, leaving a mix of brands and configurations in buildings that were built without heating in mind. Victorian copper pipework that is reaching the end of its reliable life. These are the jobs that make up the bulk of our Southside plumbing work and that our engineers understand intimately.
The newer Southside developments and refurbished properties present different challenges. Modern combi boilers with digital fault codes. Pressurised heating systems that need careful management. Contemporary bathroom installations in properties that mix old fabric with new fittings. We are comfortable across the full range. When we get a Southside callout we do not make assumptions about what we will find. We ask the right questions before we go out and we bring what we need.
The Southside is a regular daily patch for Mo's team. We aim for same-day attendance on emergencies and can usually book non-urgent work within a few days.
Southside emergencies get same-day attendance from Mo's team. Burst pipes, sewage backup, no heating in winter. We head out with a clear price before we start.
Muhammad and Mo cover Southside boiler work. Gas Safe registered, parts for all major brands, most repairs fixed first visit.
Paul and Kyle cover Southside drainage. Professional jetting, shared stack clearance, CCTV surveys.
David and Mo cover Southside heating work including central heating repairs, radiators, power flushing and underfloor heating.
Southside tenements have central heating that was installed into buildings not designed for it. The pipe runs are often non-standard and the system layouts vary between buildings. We diagnose methodically and explain what we find.
The shared drainage stacks in Southside tenements block and affect multiple flats at once. Paul and Kyle clear the full stack with professional jetting equipment.
In some older Southside closes the incoming main is still lead as far as the stopcock, and nobody notices until a bathroom job exposes it. Whether it gets replaced is not our call, but you should know it is there and which half of it is Scottish Water's. We tell you what we find and where the boundary sits.
Southside rental properties, particularly in Govanhill, often have boilers that have not been serviced regularly. Accumulated faults lead to sudden breakdown. Muhammad and Mo carry parts for all major brands and fix most on the first visit.
A landlord with a flat near Victoria Road rang about a tenant reporting a slow drain, and mentioned almost in passing that the gas certificate was probably due. Both got dealt with on one visit. Kyle cleared the waste run, which turned out to be the usual accumulation rather than anything structural, and Muhammad carried out the service and issued the CP12 while he was there. Two jobs that would ordinarily be two appointments, two days off work for the tenant and two separate invoices. That combination comes up constantly in the Southside because so much of the housing here is let, and it is the single most useful thing about having gas and drainage under one roster rather than two phone numbers.
Southside plumbing prices are clear and confirmed before we start. Consistent across the whole area.

“Our radiator pipe was bent and leaking. They answered straight away… Guy was here an hour later and he was wearing ID, very professional, patient and kind. We just got a new carpet in this room and he done an amazing job on getting little to no water on it. Couldn't recommend enough, price was reasonable.”

“We lost heating just in time for the coldest day of the year with a baby in the house… When I contacted them they were ready to dispatch that night. Fixed by the afternoon. Quoted that morning and no extra charges were added. Honestly cannot thank them enough.”

“As a small business owner, I needed a drainage company that could respond quickly. The team attended first thing in the morning, cleared the blocked drain and carried out a full CCTV survey. All documentation emailed across promptly. Professional, efficient and great value for money.”
