Plumbing emergencies


If your property is badly leaking into another you must try and turn off your water supply (in tenement flats, the water stopcock can often be located out in the main stairwell). If you have a burst pipe or any other event that could be considered an emergency (ie either you or the fabric of the property is at risk) then contact our emergency plumber – a dripping tap does not qualify as an emergency!
 Please call Paul Gollan 07967367769

Water leaking into your property!


In the event of a serious leak from an adjoining property, you must make every attempt to contact the householder and ensure that they attend to the leak promptly and switch off the water supply if necessary. If a property is vacant, or the householder is refusing to take action contact Environmental and Consumer Services – they can force entry and turn off the water supply if they deem it necessary to do so.

Scottish Gas Three Star Cover


You will have been instructed when you moved in whether or not your property is covered by a Scottish Gas Three Star service contract. This can cover anything from just central heating repairs to all plumbing and electrical works, depending on the level of cover the landlord has taken out. If you discover that your landlord’s policy has lapsed, please refer to the other contact information on this guide.
