Gas engineer in Bellshill
Bellshill grew from a weaving village into a busy mining town, and its housing tells that story street by street. Old stone terraces near the Main Street, large council estates from the middle of the last century and newer private developments all sit within a short walk of each other. Each brings its own heating quirks, and David Crombie has seen most of them.
Crombie Gas is a family business based about ten minutes away in Uddingston. David has more than 27 years in gas and heating behind him, 20 of those with British Gas, and he went out on his own to give customers the kind of care that gets lost in a large company. You deal with him directly, from the first phone call to the finished job.
We cover boiler installation and replacement, annual servicing, repairs and landlord gas safety certificates across ML4. As a Worcester Bosch accredited installer in Bellshill, we can offer extended manufacturer guarantees on eligible Worcester models, and we are equally at home with Vaillant, Ideal and Vokera.

What we do in Bellshill
New boilers in Bellshill
For a Bellshill boiler replacement, David checks the flue clearances, gas pipe size and condensate route before quoting, which matters in cottage flats and terraced homes. We fit Worcester Bosch as our first choice, plus Vaillant, Ideal and Vokera, and flush the system so the new boiler is protected.

An annual service from Crombie Gas checks the combustion, seals, safety devices and controls on your boiler. On newer estate homes it also keeps the manufacturer guarantee in order. We send you a reminder each year, so the date does not get missed.

A boiler that keeps losing pressure, makes a kettling noise or shows a fault code needs a proper diagnosis, not guesswork. We find the problem, give you the price for parts and labour, and only go ahead once you are happy.

More about landlord gas safety certificatesCottage flats, ex-council semis and newer estates
A large share of Bellshill's homes were built as council housing, including the four-in-a-block cottage flats you see across North Lanarkshire. In these, the boiler usually sits in a kitchen cupboard and the flue has to exit close to a neighbour's window, a door or a boundary. When replacing an older boiler, the flue has to meet current clearance rules, which sometimes means a different position or a plume management kit.
Older stone properties near the town centre can still have tired open-vented systems and sludge-laden radiators. On the newer estates, boilers are often still inside their manufacturer guarantee, which normally depends on an annual service being carried out and recorded. We see all three types regularly and plan each job around what is actually there.
Great service!
We struggled to find a gas engineer to fix our problems for a couple of months, everyone had issues with parts etc etc. Within hours David came out and fixed all the problems for 10% price quoted by two other engineers. We were very impressed but ultimately David just knows what hes doing. 10/10
Gas engineer in Bellshill: your questions
I live in a cottage flat. Where can the new boiler flue go?
It depends on the distance to windows, doors, the boundary and the flat above or beside you. Often the existing flue position can be reused, but older positions do not always meet current rules. David checks the clearances during the quote and will suggest a plume kit or a different route if needed, so there are no surprises on fitting day.
I bought a new-build in Bellshill. Do I really need an annual service?
If you want the manufacturer guarantee to stay valid, yes. Most boiler makers require a yearly service by a Gas Safe registered engineer, recorded in the benchmark logbook or online. We service Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal and Vokera, record it properly and send a reminder each year.
How do you price a job?
David looks at the boiler or the system first, works out what is needed and gives you a price for the parts and labour before starting. If something unexpected turns up during the work, he stops and talks it through with you rather than adding to the bill without asking.
Do you cover Mossend and Orbiston as well as the town centre?
Yes, we cover the whole of Bellshill, including Mossend, Orbiston, Hattonrigg, Milnwood and Shirrel. Bellshill is roughly ten minutes from our base in Uddingston, and we are open seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm. Wherever you are in ML4, just give us a call and we will arrange a time that suits you.
