Emergency Plumber in North Edinburgh

Scott Murphy, who runs Pilot Heating Solutions from Falkirk. Ask to see the Gas Safe card, in North Edinburgh or anywhere else. A genuine engineer expects to be asked.

Turn off the water at the stopcock, switch off the heating, and open the cold taps to drain what is left in the pipes. Then call and describe where the water is coming from.

Yes, and it is worth listing everything up front rather than adding jobs on the day, so the visit in North Edinburgh is planned with enough time in it.

Find the stopcock and turn the water off, then put a container under the leak and move anything that can be damaged. Knowing where the stopcock is before you need it saves the worst of it.

We can arrange access with a tenant in North Edinburgh, but the instruction and the payment come from the landlord or agent so everyone knows where they stand.

No, and this is the one exception to calling us first. Leave the property, do not touch switches or naked flames, and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999. Call us once it is safe.

Say so when booking. If someone else can let us into the North Edinburgh property, or a key can be left safely, the visit can still go ahead.

Water off at the stopcock, electrics off to that area if lighting is involved, and a container underneath. Then call. Do not push at a bulging ceiling.

Yes. You get told what was found, what was done and anything worth keeping an eye on, in plain terms, before we leave the North Edinburgh property.

Your North Edinburgh postcode, what is leaking or failing, whether you have managed to isolate it, and how long it has been going on. That decides how urgent it actually is.
