Who We Are
The Gas Safety Guy was founded in 2017 by husband and wife team Paul and Jennifer Murphy. The business has expanded and we now also employ Malcolm, our experienced breakdown and repair engineer. We specialise in the installation, maintenance and repair of domestic gas boilers and appliances mainly in the central belt of Scotland. Paul and Malcolm have full Logic Certification and are both ACS qualified and the business is registered with Gas Safe (number 588030).

Whenever we have called Paul (the Gas Safety Guy) he has been quick to respond, often squeezing us in when other work has already been arranged with no job being too small (or big!). The communication and paperwork is spot on with no need to chase for updates or progress on jobs.
That’s the gas safety check done and Paul was so lovely and efficient…check done, installed carbon monoxide detector, PAT tested fridge and washing machine – he even topped up my gas card to save me bending down. He’s definitely one of your ‘keeper’ engineers!”
Paul was very helpful, very accommodating of my needs/times and also very good value for money.
