From the blog
Plain answers on costs, rules and checks before you hire
How much does a full house rewire cost in Glasgow?
Typical prices by property size, how long the work takes, and why tenement flats can cost more than you expect.
What are the interlinked fire alarm rules in Scotland?
Where each alarm must go, battery versus mains-wired, carbon monoxide alarms, and who can get help with the cost.
How often should I get my boiler serviced?
Why once a year is the standard, what a proper service includes, and how it differs from a landlord gas safety check.
Who pays for tenement roof repairs in Glasgow?
How the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004 splits the bill, how owners make decisions, and what to do in an emergency.
How much does it cost to skim a room in Glasgow?
Typical prices for walls and ceilings by room size, a plasterer's day rate, and what tenement ceilings do to the quote.
How much should an emergency lockout cost in Glasgow?
Fair prices for daytime and night-time lockouts, the "from £49" trap, and the questions to ask before anyone sets off.
Questions
Do trades pay to be ranked?
No. A place in the table cannot be bought. Any Glasgow trade can send us their details to be assessed, and that is free.
How often do the tables change?
Every table is reviewed once a year. Each one shows the date its figures were last checked, and from the 2027 edition the movement column will show what changed since the year before.
How do you check accreditations?
We look up every membership number with the trade body itself, such as SELECT, NICEIC or the Gas Safe Register, rather than relying on a logo on the company website.
Which areas do you cover?
The whole of Glasgow, plus Bearsden, Milngavie, Bishopbriggs, Clarkston, Giffnock, Newton Mearns and Rutherglen.
