Sandstone tenements and villas
Many of the town's tenements were built for mill workers in the 19th century and have been modernised more than once, so pipework can be a mix of old iron, copper and plastic. When a boiler is replaced, engineers often find that a system clean and a magnetic filter are needed to protect it. In Renfrew and Erskine, homes and flats built from the 1970s onwards are usually more straightforward to work on.
Paisley's tenement flats typically have combis in kitchens with flues through thick walls into back courts. Conservation areas cover parts of the town centre.
Large villas near the abbey and in Castlehead have big rooms that need higher radiator output.

Heating homes in Scotland
Scotland's longer, colder heating season puts boilers under more strain than in most of the UK. In the cities, tenement and four-in-a-block flats often have the boiler in a kitchen or cupboard with limited flue options, and large stone villas can have big, older systems. Many rural and island homes are off the gas grid altogether. Gas work in Scotland must be done by a Gas Safe registered engineer, as elsewhere in the UK.
Whatever the job, anyone working on a gas boiler, gas fire or gas supply must be on the Gas Safe Register – ask to see their ID card and check the back for the work they're qualified to do. How to check an engineer.
