Your local gas engineer in Uddingston
Uddingston is not just a place we cover. It is home. David Crombie lives here, runs Crombie Gas from here, and most days he is working within a mile or two of the Main Street. If you have walked past Tunnock's or waited at the Cross for the lights to change, there is a fair chance he was in one of the houses nearby.
David has spent more than 27 years in gas and heating, 20 of them with British Gas. He went self-employed because he wanted to give people the kind of service he would want himself: the same engineer every time, a straight answer, and a price for the parts and labour before a spanner comes out. That is still how the business works today, and it is why so much of our work in G71 comes from neighbours passing our number on.
We fit new boilers, carry out annual services, track down faults and repairs, and issue landlord gas safety certificates. As a Worcester Bosch accredited installer in Uddingston, we can register eligible Worcester boilers for an extended manufacturer guarantee, and we also work on Vaillant, Ideal and Vokera.
If something has gone wrong, we will always look at whether a repair makes sense first. Replacement only comes up when it is genuinely the better choice for you, and David will explain why in plain terms. We are open seven days, 8am to 8pm.
Areas of Uddingston we cover
Because this is our own patch, we cover every corner of it. That takes in the older streets running off Main Street and the Cross, the villas and family homes around Kylepark down towards the Clyde, and Tannochside, Fallside and Spindlehowe on the other side of the M74. Plenty of Tannochside and Fallside homes sit in North Lanarkshire but share the Uddingston postcode, and we treat it all as one community. If your address starts G71, David is very likely already working round the corner.

What we do in Uddingston
New boilers in Uddingston
A new boiler in Uddingston starts with David visiting, checking your existing pipework, flue route and hot water demand, then giving you a clear price. We fit Worcester Bosch as our lead brand, alongside Vaillant, Ideal and Vokera, and we clean the system properly so the new boiler starts life on good water.

An annual service keeps your boiler running safely and keeps most manufacturer warranties valid. We send a yearly reminder so you never have to remember the date yourself. Because we are local, fitting a service around work or the school run is usually easy to arrange.

Uddingston has a real mix of homes. Close to Main Street and in parts of Kylepark you find older sandstone houses and flats, often with high ceilings, big rooms and heating systems that have been altered piece by piece over the decades. Many still run an open-vented system with a cold water tank in the loft, and the pipework can carry years of sludge that shortens the life of a new boiler if it is not flushed out properly.
Further out, the semis, bungalows and private estates are more straightforward, though a lot of them are now on their second or third boiler and ready for a sensible upgrade. Larger family homes with two bathrooms can be better suited to a system boiler with a hot water cylinder than a combi. David will look at how your house is actually used before recommending either.
I found Crombie gas by chance when I needed my boiler replaced and it was a lucky find. David is the most reliable, efficient and skilled gas engineer I have experienced. I have recommend Crombie Gas to family and friends who have also been delighted. David operates with high integrity and only quotes for work that is required and gives competitively priced options.
Gas engineer in Uddingston: your questions
Is Crombie Gas actually based in Uddingston?
Yes. David Crombie lives in Uddingston and the business, Crombiegas Limited, is run from here. That is not a call centre address or a borrowed postcode. It means the engineer who quotes your job is the same person who turns up to do it, and he is never far away if you have a question afterwards.
I have a tank in the loft. Do I have to change to a combi?
Not at all. Many older Uddingston houses still run an open-vented system and it can be kept with a like-for-like replacement. For a smaller home a combi can free up the loft and cupboard space, while a busy house with two bathrooms may suit a system boiler better. David will talk you through the options without pushing one.
Can you service a boiler that another company fitted?
Yes. We service Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal and Vokera boilers regardless of who installed them. If your boiler is still under a manufacturer guarantee, keeping up the annual service is usually a condition of that cover, so we will note the service in the paperwork and send you a reminder next year.
What hours are you available?
We are open seven days a week, from 8am to 8pm. That makes it easier to book a service or a quote at a time that suits you, including evenings and weekends. Give us a call, explain what is going on, and we will arrange a time for David to come round.
