Plumbing & heating and Greenock homes
Greenock has sandstone tenements and terraces in the town centre and Victorian villas in the West End, with post-war housing up the hillsides in Larkfield, Branchton and Braeside. It's one of the wetter towns in Scotland, and exposed to the Firth of Clyde, so roofs, gutters and damp get a lot of attention.
- In tenements, a leak can quickly reach the flat below. Mention whether you're in a flat and which floor, and where your stopcock is if you know.
- Older stone properties often have a mix of old and new pipework. Mention if you've seen any lead pipes.
- Larger older houses can have long pipe runs and big radiators, so a power flush or system upgrade may help with uneven heating.
- Exposed homes lose heat faster, so a well-balanced heating system and good controls make a difference.
- In ex-council flats with a shared water supply, a plumber may need access to a common close or riser.
Areas covered include Town Centre, West End, Cartsdyke, Larkfield, Branchton, Bow Farm, Braeside, Gibshill, Cowdenknowes, Fancy Farm, Ravenscraig, Gourock. Local authority: Inverclyde Council.
