Plumbing jobs we handle
Much of our plumbing work sits alongside drainage: blocked or slow toilets, sinks, baths and showers, leaking waste pipes, faulty traps and overflows, and problems with soil stacks and internal drainage. We also deal with leaking and burst pipework and carry out maintenance visits for landlords.
Because we are drainage engineers as well, we can tell whether a problem is inside the property or further down the drain run, and fix it at the source rather than just the symptom. If the cause is underground, a CCTV drain survey shows exactly what is going on.
Homes, landlords and businesses
We work for homeowners, landlords, letting agents and commercial premises across West Lothian, Edinburgh, Falkirk, Lanarkshire and Fife. Urgent plumbing problems are covered by our 24/7 emergency service with no call-out charge.
We are a local, family-owned business based in Pumpherston, with over 20 years' industry experience and £5 million public liability insurance. Call 07427 195142 or send a quote request and we will get back to you.
A plumber in Livingston who also handles the drains
Livingston was designated in 1962 as one of Scotland's post-war new towns, so most homes in the town date from the 1960s onwards. Many will have had kitchens and bathrooms refitted since, often on top of the original waste runs. When a refit joins new plastic waste to an older pipe, the joint between them is where leaks and slow drains tend to start. We look at the whole run from the fitting to the drain, not just the part you can see.
Our base is in Pumpherston, beside Livingston, and we work as a plumber across West Lothian as well, including Bathgate and Linlithgow. For the drainage side in town, see our Livingston drainage page.

- Blocked shower and bath drains
- Blocked sinks and waste pipes
Commercial plumbing
Offices, shops and units around Houston Industrial Estate, Kirkton Campus and Brucefield Industrial Estate have washrooms and kitchens that see heavy use. Leaking traps, blocked urinals and toilets that run on are the kind of jobs a commercial plumber is called for, and the same visit can include clearing a slow kitchen waste. For larger sites, see commercial drainage.
Soft water, fewer limescale problems
Most drinking water in Scotland, including the supply to West Lothian from Scottish Water, is classed as soft. You are unlikely to need descaling, and we will not suggest it. Where taps and valves fail here, it is usually worn washers and seals rather than scale.
