The Gas Repair Company is a team of certified Gas Safe engineers working right across the city, from the New Town tenements to the suburbs out past the bypass. Edinburgh has some of the oldest housing stock in Scotland, and a lot of it runs on heating systems that need a bit of know-how. Whether your boiler's stopped firing on a cold morning or your hob won't catch, we'll get an engineer out and fix it properly.
What We Do in Edinburgh
Boiler repair and servicing
Boilers are the bulk of what we do. We work on all the usual makes found in Edinburgh homes, from the combis in newer flats to the older system boilers still going in tenement properties. We'll find the fault, explain it in plain terms, and repair it on the spot where we can.
Gas leak detection and repair
A gas smell is never something to sit on. Shut off the supply at the meter, open a window, and call us. We'll locate the leak, repair it, and check the whole system is sound before we sign off.
Gas hob and cooker repair
Ignition that won't spark, a burner running yellow instead of blue, a smell of gas near the cooker. We repair gas hobs and cookers and make sure the appliance and its connection are safe to use.
Gas fire repair
Gas fires are still common in Edinburgh's older flats and period homes. We service and repair them, and we'll be straight with you if one has reached the point where it's safer to replace than repair.
Annual gas safety checks (CP12)
Edinburgh has a huge rental market, and every landlord needs a CP12 certificate each year by law. We carry out the check, sort any issues, and turn the paperwork around quickly. Owner-occupiers can book one too if they want the reassurance.
Emergency call-outs
No heat in the depths of winter, or a gas smell you can't trace? Our 24/7 emergency call-out service is there for exactly that, and we aim to reach you fast.
Why Homeowners and landlords call Us
Every engineer on our team is Gas Safe registered, so the work is done legally and safely. We know the city, which means we're not learning the layout of a New Town stair or a Leith tenement on your time. We're on call 24/7 for emergencies, every quote is free and given before any work starts, and we'll never push a repair you don't actually need. If something needs replacing, we'll show you why.
Gas repair across Edinburgh
We cover the whole of Edinburgh and the surrounding areas, including Leith, Morningside, Stockbridge, Portobello, Marchmont, Bruntsfield, Newington, Corstorphine, Gorgie, Trinity and out towards Musselburgh, Dalkeith and Penicuik. Not sure if you're in our patch? Just ask.
Edinburgh's housing throws up its own challenges. The New Town is largely Georgian and sits in a conservation area, which affects what can be done with flues and external pipework on listed buildings. The tenement flats around Marchmont, Bruntsfield and Leith often have boilers tucked into hall cupboards or kitchens, shared closes, and flue runs that need careful handling. Out in the suburbs like Corstorphine and Cramond you'll find more bungalows and post-war builds with their own setups. We've worked on all of it, so the quirks of an old stone-built flat don't slow us down.
FAQs
How quickly can you reach me in Edinburgh?
For emergencies we aim to be with you the same day, often within a couple of hours depending on where you are in the city and how busy we are. For routine repairs and servicing we'll get you the earliest appointment that works for you.
I'm a landlord with several Edinburgh flats. Can you handle multiple CP12s?
Yes. We do a lot of work for Edinburgh landlords and letting agents, including bulk gas safety checks across a portfolio. We can coordinate access and keep all your certificates up to date so nothing lapses.
Can you work on boilers in listed or tenement buildings?
We can. A lot of Edinburgh's central properties are listed or sit in conservation areas, and we're used to working within those constraints, including the flue and ventilation considerations that come with older stone-built flats.
Are your engineers Gas Safe registered?
Every one of them. Any engineer working on gas in the UK is legally required to be on the Gas Safe Register, and you're welcome to check ours before we begin.
