What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Boiler servicing and plumbing repairs are the services that come up most often in feedback for this Edinburgh firm, which also handles gas fires, radiator work and general heating requirements. Customers repeatedly describe engineers arriving on time, sometimes early, and carrying out the work efficiently, with Duncan, Jack, Ryan and Martinus all named for their friendly and professional manner. A point that comes up often is the care taken to explain faults and the reasoning behind repairs, with one customer noting that advice on complicated thermostats was offered without pressure to decide.

Tidiness is mentioned frequently, including clearing up after a toilet cistern repair and treating properties and occupants with respect. Reviews also highlight the organised communication, from courtesy calls and text messages confirming engineer names and arrival times to the helpfulness of office staff such as Rhian. The quality of boiler services and gas safety inspections is described as consistently high, with customers returning for annual appointments and passing the company's details to neighbours and friends.

Excellent service from start to finish. The whole team were friendly, professional and proactive throughout. I particularly liked the text/SMS service, which provided the engineers’ names, appointment confirmations and arrival ETAs—it made everything very easy and well organised. I’d happily recommend Scott Findlay Plumbing & Heating to others.

Duncan arrived on time and was extremely polite and professional. He serviced the boiler and provided advice on changing complicated thermostats but did not push me into making a decision, which is unusual these days. Would definitely recommend Scott Findlay for boiler service etc.

As always, the Scott Findlay engineer, Duncan, was professional, prompt (early even!), tidy, respectful of property and occupants, and quickly diagnosed fault and arranged repair. His notes and photos from previous visits allowed him to confidently determine length of time the leak had been occurring, and the gas safety inspection was carried out efficiently. Very happy with the service. Will continue recommending the company to anyone who needs a plumber or heating engineer.

Had a problem with the toilet cistern not filling up. Ryan arrived on time and even with a trip for parts was finished within an hour. He was really polite and explained what he was doing. Really happy with the service I received today and would definitely recommend Scott Findlay.

Ryan was brilliant. Showed up, showed up on time, fixed everything and went out of his way to be helpful and tidy up at the end. Highly recommend and will use Scott Findlay from now on. The Rhian in the office was really helpful and friendly too.
