Your Local Plumber in Roslin, Bilston and Rosewell
These villages sit in the North Esk valley between Loanhead, Bonnyrigg and Penicuik. We cover Roslin, from Main Street and Manse Road down towards Rosslyn Chapel and Roslin Glen; Bilston and the area around the Bilston Glen viaduct; the Bush and Easter Bush campus; and Rosewell, the former mining village around Carnethie Street.
From our Dalkeith base these villages are reached via Bonnyrigg or Loanhead. They normally fall within our typical 30-minute Midlothian response, and we will give you a realistic arrival time when you call. There is no extra out-of-hours charge.
Plumbing Problems Common in Roslin, Bilston and Rosewell
Cold-weather failures. The villages sit higher and closer to the Pentlands than Edinburgh, so winter hits them harder. Frozen outside taps, split pipes in lofts and garages, and combis locked out by a frozen condensate pipe are our most common winter calls. We thaw, repair and frost-proof the pipework.
Stone cottages and miners’ rows. Older homes in Roslin and Rosewell often have pipework of several different ages, stiff stopcocks, and drains that run under gardens or are shared with neighbours. We repair leaks, replace old stopcocks and clear blocked drains, with a CCTV survey available if a drain keeps blocking.
Newer estates. Roslin, Bilston and Rosewell have all gained newer housing. These homes have combi boilers and plastic push-fit pipework, where pressure loss and hidden leaks are the usual faults. We trace leaks with acoustic and thermal equipment.
Private drainage. Some outlying cottages and farms around Roslin Glen and the Pentland foothills are on private drainage. We jet and clear private drain runs and will tell you honestly if a septic tank needs emptying by a specialist.

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.
