Water and pressure problems around boilers in Edinburgh
How to get an accurate quote in Edinburgh
Short answer: A drip from a pipe under the boiler can be ordinary plumbing; anything inside the casing or involving gas needs a Gas Safe registered engineer. We ask what you can see and route the request to providers who say they can do that kind of work, rather than assuming every plumber is gas registered.
