Your Local Plumber in Danderhall and Shawfair
Danderhall sits between Dalkeith and south-east Edinburgh, just inside the City Bypass. It is only a few minutes from our Dalkeith office via the Sheriffhall roundabout. We cover the established village around Newton Church Road and Edmonstone Road, Newton Village, Millerhill, and the thousands of new homes at Shawfair around the Borders Railway station.
Callouts here are well inside our typical 30-minute Midlothian response. There is no extra out-of-hours charge, and we agree a fixed price before any work starts.
Plumbing and Heating in Danderhall and Shawfair Homes
Established Danderhall homes. The village is mainly post-war ex-council houses, cottage flats and private bungalows. Typical calls are combi boiler breakdowns, leaks from ageing copper pipework, seized stopcocks and blocked shared drains between upper and lower cottage flats.
New-builds at Shawfair. Newer homes use plastic push-fit pipework, which can weep at a joint hidden inside a wall or under a floor. We trace these leaks with thermal and acoustic equipment and repair them with minimal disruption. Blocked kitchen wastes and inspection chambers on unadopted estate drains are also common.
Homes on the Shawfair heat network. Some newer Shawfair homes get their heating and hot water from a district heat network rather than their own gas boiler. Each home then has a heat interface unit (HIU) instead of a boiler. If your heating or hot water fails, check first whether the heat supplier is responsible for the HIU. For everything else, including leaks, taps, toilets, showers, radiators and drains, we can help, and we will tell you honestly if the fault needs your heat supplier.

Before the Plumber Arrives
If water is escaping, turn your stopcock clockwise to close it. It is usually under the kitchen sink, but sometimes it is in a hall or utility cupboard. Switch off the boiler if hot water is leaking, and keep water away from sockets and light fittings. If you smell gas, leave the property and call the National Gas Emergency line on 0800 111 999 first, then call us.
