When Armadale customers call us

Why Armadale properties call us
Armadale's rapid housebuilding sits alongside long-established rows on the main street, and shallow shared drains between older properties are a common source of repeat blockages.
Fast housebuilding next to long-established streets means modern plastic laterals and original clay runs often join the same sewer. Where that is the case, a camera before quoting saves money rather than adding to the bill.
Expect to see new commuter estates and long-established main street rows on our Armadale jobs — the pipe material and depth vary a lot between them. That pattern repeats often enough across Armadale for us to check it first.
We hold maintenance arrangements with premises near Armadale station park-and-ride, and take one-off domestic calls from homeowners on the same day. Kerbside space is the only thing we ever really need in Armadale.
The M8 J4 gets us in with a full load of jetting hose, which matters on emergency plumbing jobs where we cannot travel light. If a second engineer is needed for access or safety, that is arranged before we set out.
Armadale is roughly 22 miles from Edinburgh and firmly inside our everyday patch. Either way, arrival times to Armadale are given honestly rather than optimistically.
Plumbing emergencies do damage by the minute. We attend day or night, make the situation safe, and carry out the repair rather than just isolating and leaving.
The first job on a burst is stopping the water — we will talk you to your stopcock on the phone before we arrive. Catching it at that stage is the difference between a clearance and a repair.
