Plumbers in Lochgelly, backed by 400+ five star reviews
Rated Excellent on Google, Trustpilot, Fife Trusted Trader and Facebook.
Every review is from a real local customer. Here is why.
Plumbing, from the team that fits your heating
Most plumbing problems in a Lochgelly home are heating problems in disguise. A damp patch under a radiator, pressure that keeps dropping, a room that never warms up. Our plumbers and Gas Safe registered engineers look after the whole system, from the boiler to the last radiator, so you deal with one local team.
We trace the fault to its cause, explain it in plain English and recommend the repair that fits, not the most expensive one.
We work on heating pipework right across Lochgelly, a short drive from our Dunfermline office. In the highest town in Fife, a well balanced system makes a real difference in winter.
We specialise in heating plumbing. We do not repair taps, toilets, showers or shower trays.
Why choose our plumbers?
What our plumbers help with
From a single weeping valve to a system that has never worked properly.
LeaksLeaking pipes and valves
We trace leaks from radiator valves, joints and heating pipework, then repair or replace the part that has failed and bring the pressure back up.
RadiatorsRadiator replacement and upgrades
Tired, damaged or undersized radiators replaced and sized for the room, with the valves and balancing checked at the same time.
TRVsRadiator valves and TRVs
Set each room to the temperature it needs. Seized or leaking valves replaced.
FiltersMagnetic filters
Catch sludge before it reaches the boiler. Fitted to existing systems and cleaned at every service.
Power flushingPower flushing and system cleaning
Radiators cold at the bottom are usually full of sludge. We check the cause first, then flush the system so water circulates freely again.
ControlsSmart heating controls
Hive, Tado and Worcester Bosch controls installed and set up, so the heating runs around the way you actually live.

Smart thermostat installation in Lochgelly
A smart thermostat lets you run the heating from your phone, set a schedule that matches how you actually live, and stop heating an empty house. We fit and set up Hive, Tado and Worcester Bosch controls, wire them to your boiler properly, and show you how they work before we leave.
If your boiler is a combi, the control is fitted to the boiler's own terminals so features like load compensation work as they should. On older systems with a hot water cylinder we fit the version that controls heating and hot water separately.
Every new boiler we install already comes with a Boiler Plus compliant wireless thermostat. A smart control is the upgrade on top, and can be added at installation or any time after.
| Hive | Heating, or heating and hot water. Works with most boilers. |
| Tado | Room by room control with smart radiator valves. |
| Worcester Bosch | Made for Greenstar boilers, with fault reporting in the app. |

Homes and heating in Lochgelly
Lochgelly is the highest town in Fife, on a ridge between Loch Ore and Loch Gelly, and became a burgh in 1876.
A coal and iron town
Most of the town dates from its growth after the Lochgelly Coal and Iron Company was formed in 1850. Many of those older heating systems have been in for decades.
High and exposed
Being the highest town in Fife means cold, exposed winters. A yearly service and a clean condensate pipe help a boiler cope when the temperature drops.
New homes at Jenny Gray House
New council homes for older people at Jenny Gray House are fitted with A-rated boilers, which need a yearly service to keep running at their best.

Frequently asked questions about our plumbers in Lochgelly
Do you cover all of Lochgelly?
Yes. We cover the whole of Lochgelly (KY5 postcodes), along with Lumphinnans, Lochore, Cardenden and Cowdenbeath. Enter your postcode when you book online and you will see the slots available.
How do I stop pipes freezing in winter?
Insulate any heating or water pipes in the loft, garage or outside walls, and leave the heating on a low setting during cold spells, even when you are away. If a pipe does freeze, thaw it gently with warm cloths, never a flame, and call us if it has split.
Are you plumbers or heating engineers?
Both. Our plumbers and Gas Safe registered heating engineers work on everything connected to your heating system, from the boiler and pipework to radiators, valves and controls.
Do you repair taps, toilets or showers?
No. We specialise in heating systems, so we do not repair taps, toilets, showers or shower trays.
Can you fix a leaking pipe or radiator valve?
Yes. We trace the leak, then repair or replace the valve, joint or section of pipe that has failed. If water is escaping, turn off your stop tap where it is safe to do so and switch the boiler off before calling us.
Why is my radiator cold at the bottom?
Warm at the top and cold at the bottom usually means sludge inside the radiator. Cold at the top usually means air and needs bleeding. We check the cause first, then recommend the right fix, which may or may not be a power flush.
Do you replace radiators and fit TRVs?
Yes. We replace damaged, leaking or undersized radiators and fit thermostatic radiator valves so you can control the temperature room by room.
Do you install magnetic filters?
Yes. We fit magnetic filters to existing systems, and every new boiler we install comes with a magnetic filter and system flush included.
Is a repair visit a fixed price?
Yes. A repair visit is £120 inc VAT, paid when you book. If the fix needs more than the visit allows, we quote it before any extra work starts.
Do you work for landlords as well as homeowners?
Yes. We carry out heating plumbing for homeowners and landlords, and we also provide landlord gas safety certificates.
