Local to Edinburgh
Covering Edinburgh from across the Forth
Although we're based in Kirkcaldy, we serve homeowners and landlords in Edinburgh too. The Queensferry Crossing makes the city accessible, and we take on boiler installations, servicing, landlord certificates and bathroom work across Edinburgh.
Edinburgh's housing is distinctive: Victorian and Georgian tenements and townhouses, colony flats, interwar bungalows and semis, and modern flats and developments. Tenement flats in particular bring challenges such as shared stairs, limited boiler space and long flue routes.
Because Edinburgh is further from our base, we don't promise fixed arrival times. Planned work is arranged at a time that suits you, and Ian will give you an honest estimate for anything urgent.

Local issues
Common plumbing and heating problems in Edinburgh
Tenement boiler positions
Many tenement flats have boilers in kitchens or cupboards with awkward flue routes. Replacing them needs careful planning to meet regulations and suit the flat's layout.
Shared stairs and water leaks
In tenements, a leak can affect several flats. Fast, careful repairs reduce damage and disputes with neighbours.
Old pipework
Older buildings may still have sections of lead or galvanised pipework. Replacing these during other work can improve reliability and water quality.
High rental demand
Edinburgh has a large rental market. Landlords need annual gas safety checks and reliable boilers to keep tenants comfortable.
Local guide
A local guide to plumbing and heating in Edinburgh
Working in Edinburgh tenements
Tenement flats in Marchmont, Leith, Gorgie, Bruntsfield and across the city have their own challenges: shared stairs, limited parking, boilers in kitchens or cupboards and long flue routes. Ian plans these jobs carefully, explains what's involved and gives you a clear price up front.
Georgian and Victorian townhouses
Larger townhouses in the New Town and elsewhere often have high hot water demand and several bathrooms. An unvented cylinder with a system boiler can give strong showers throughout the house. Ian is qualified to install and maintain unvented hot water cylinders.
Edinburgh landlords
Edinburgh's rental market is large and busy. Landlords need annual gas safety checks, from £70, and reliable boilers to keep tenants comfortable. Booking a boiler service at the same visit saves arranging access twice.
South Queensferry and the north of the city
The Queensferry Crossing makes the north and west of Edinburgh, including South Queensferry, Cramond and Barnton, particularly accessible from Fife. Planned work is booked at a time that suits you.
Bathrooms in Edinburgh flats
Tenement and colony flats often have small bathrooms with awkward layouts. Careful planning, compact fittings and the right shower for your hot water system can make the most of the space. Ian handles the plumbing so the finished room works properly.
Gas fires in period properties
Many period homes in Edinburgh still have gas fires. These should be checked regularly. Ian is ACS qualified for gas fires and can service, replace or safely remove them.
Clear pricing
Edinburgh customers get the same honest pricing as our Fife customers: boiler services and gas safety checks from £70, new boilers supplied and fitted from £1,995, and free, no-obligation quotes for everything else.
Boiler servicing in Edinburgh
An annual service, from £70, keeps your boiler safe and efficient and helps protect the manufacturer's warranty. Ian can combine it with a landlord gas safety check for rental flats.
Leaks in tenement flats
A leak in a tenement can affect neighbours below quickly. If you have a leak, turn off the water at the stopcock and call 07866 381295. Ian will find the source and repair it properly.
Radiators and cold rooms
Large rooms with high ceilings and big windows are common in Edinburgh period homes. Correctly sized radiators and a balanced system help these rooms stay warm without wasting gas.
