Common Faults
Common Plumbing and Heating Problems We Fix
Edinburgh homes — particularly older tenements and Victorian properties — have specific plumbing and heating quirks. If you recognise any of these issues, we can help.
Burst Pipes & Leaks
Sudden bursts or slow hidden leaks causing damp patches, rising bills or water damage. We locate and repair leaks fast — including in walls and under floors.
No Hot Water
Loss of hot water is one of the most disruptive faults in any home. We diagnose whether it's the cylinder, boiler, thermostat or pipework and fix it — often same day.
Boiler Faults
Error codes, boiler lockouts, pressure drops or a boiler that fires but won't heat the house. We carry out boiler servicing and fault diagnosis across Edinburgh.
Low Water Pressure
Weak showers and slow-filling baths are usually down to a faulty pressure reducing valve, a partly closed stopcock, or a supply issue. We diagnose and fix the root cause.
Cold Radiators
A radiator cold at the top suggests trapped air; cold at the bottom often means sludge build-up. We bleed, flush or replace as needed — see our radiator repair service.
Blocked Sinks, Toilets & Drains
Slow drainage, gurgling sounds or a completely blocked toilet all signal a blockage that needs clearing. We unblock drains across Edinburgh quickly and cleanly.
Faulty Taps & Toilets
Dripping taps waste water and money; a constantly running toilet can cost hundreds a year. We replace cartridges, washers, fill valves and any faulty tap or toilet components.
Plumbing Emergencies
Can't wait? Flooding, a burst pipe or a complete heating failure needs immediate action. Our 24/7 emergency plumber in Edinburgh aims to arrive within the hour.
