Homes in North Glasgow
North Glasgow has a mix of sandstone tenements around Maryhill and Springburn, a lot of post-war housing, and new developments at Sighthill and along the Forth and Clyde canal. Only a few firms on our tables are based here, but most of the firms we rank cover the whole city.
Heating
If your boiler is old, you may be able to get help with the cost of a replacement or a heat pump. Our guide to boiler grants in Scotland explains who qualifies. Have your boiler serviced every year; see how often to service a boiler.
Fire alarms
Every home in Scotland needs interlinked smoke and heat alarms and, where there is a gas boiler or fire, a carbon monoxide alarm. See the interlinked fire alarm rules.
Wiring
Older homes that have never been rewired may need new wiring before other work. See what a rewire costs in Glasgow.
