Plumbers in Winchburgh, 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 Winchburgh 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 are in Winchburgh every day, and work on heating pipework and controls in the village's new build homes as well as its older properties.
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 Winchburgh
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 Winchburgh
Winchburgh was a shale oil village and is now growing fast, with 3,450 new homes approved.
The shale oil rows
Craigton Place, Midhope Place, Abercorn Place, Castle Terrace, Oakbank Place and Hopetoun Place were built around 1902 to 1910 for oil workers. All still stand, now modernised.
New build estates
Developments including Oakbank, Millgate Lawns, Central Square, Winchburgh Grange and Burnbrae Meadow have boilers still inside their manufacturer guarantee.
Keeping the guarantee
A new build boiler still needs a yearly service by a Gas Safe engineer to keep its guarantee valid. The builder's warranty does not cover it.

Frequently asked questions about our plumbers in Winchburgh
Do you cover all of Winchburgh?
Yes. We cover the whole of Winchburgh (EH52 postcodes), along with South Queensferry, Dalmeny and North Queensferry. Enter your postcode when you book online and you will see the slots available.
Some radiators in my new build heat up much faster than others. Is that normal?
It usually means the system has not been balanced, so the radiators nearest the boiler take most of the heat. We adjust the lockshield valves so every radiator warms up evenly. It is a common job on new builds.
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.
