I Respect Your Time
If I say I will be there at 10 AM on Tuesday, I will be there. If I am delayed by traffic or an emergency, I will always ring to let you know.
Hello, I’m Callum.
I set up Murgatroyd’s Property Services because I kept hearing the same complaints from people in Morecambe and Lancaster; tradesmen not turning up, leaving a mess or confusing people with technical jargon.
I believe in doing things the right way. That means treating your home with the same respect I’d treat my own gran’s. Whether I’m round for an hour to bleed your radiators and fix a squeaky door or fitting a brand-new boiler, you’ll get the same honest advice, fair pricing and a friendly face.
I’m proud to be a local lad serving my local community.
When the winter sets in across Morecambe Bay, you need to know your central heating isn’t going to let you down. Gas safety is incredibly important, and it’s not something you should ever leave to chance. As a fully qualified and strictly vetted Gas Safe Registered engineer (Reg No: 975910), I take the safety and warmth of your home as seriously as you do.
Whether your boiler has started making a strange noise, your radiators are cold at the bottom or it’s simply time for your annual service to keep your warranty valid, I am here to help. I don’t believe in baffling my customers with technical jargon or sales pitches. If there is a problem, I will inspect your system, sit down with you to explain exactly what needs doing in plain English and provide a clear, honest price before any work begins.
My goal isn’t just to fix your heating; it’s to give you total peace of mind. With Murgatroyd’s, you always know exactly who is turning up at your door. You can rest assured that the job will be done safely, legally and that your home will be left just as tidy as I found it.
Callum came and serviced our boiler , he came the next day after we got in touch and was efficient and friendly. I’d certainly recommend Callum and would trust him for any other works we needed doing. 100% recommend! ![]()
I contacted Callum as I was in need of a couple of new radiators installing in my hallway and dining room. Callum was soon round to give his professional advice to suit my needs. He was very polite, friendly, professional and has a great deal of experience and knowledge. He did a very thorough, neat & tidy job and I would not hesitate using his company again and would highly recommend him.
A reliable boiler is the heart of a warm, comfortable home, especially when the coastal winds pick up off the Bay. Whether your old boiler has finally given up the ghost and needs a highly efficient replacement or it simply needs its annual service to keep the manufacturer’s warranty valid, I can help. I only recommend reliable boilers I would fit in my own home, and I will always give you an honest assessment of whether a repair is more cost-effective than a replacement.
If your home is struggling to get warm or you have cold spots in certain rooms, your system might need an upgrade. From fitting modern, energy saving radiators to installing a completely new, reliable central heating system, I handle the whole process from start to finish. I know having work done in your home can feel stressful so I promise to keep the disruption to an absolute minimum, protect your carpets and tidy up thoroughly at the end of every day.
Bought a new gas cooker or want to make sure your living room gas fire is safe to use this winter? Incorrectly fitted gas appliances are incredibly dangerous, so let me take the worry out of it. I will safely disconnect your old appliances, professionally install your new ones, and run rigorous safety tests before I leave so you can cook and relax with total peace of mind.
If you rent out a property in the Lancaster or Morecambe area, you know that an annual gas safety check is a strict legal requirement. I take the hassle out of this for local landlords. I am happy to liaise directly and politely with your tenants to arrange a convenient time, conduct a thorough, no-nonsense inspection, and provide your legal safety certificate promptly so your paperwork is always up to date.
The Lancashire weather can be tough on our gardens, quickly leaving driveways, patios, and garden paths covered in slippery green algae and ingrained dirt. Not only does this look untidy but it can become a serious slipping hazard underfoot.
You don’t need to struggle with heavy hoses or hire expensive equipment. I use professional-grade pressure washers to strip away years of grime, moss, and weather damage in a matter of hours. I’ll take care of the heavy lifting, ensure your drainage is clear and leave your property looking spotless and safe to walk on again.
Some examples of what I can clean include;
Excellent job. Went above and beyond. Professional service, good communicator. Patio was in a state and by the end made it look like new. 5*
If you have moss falling onto your patio or water spilling over your gutters when it rains, it’s time for a clear-out. Blocked gutters and moss-covered roofs can lead to severe damp problems, ruined masonry and expensive repair bills if left ignored.
Please don’t risk your safety climbing up ladders. I have the proper equipment and training to safely access your roofline. I will carefully remove the heavy moss from your tiles and completely clear your gutters and downpipes of leaves and debris. As with all my work, I guarantee a thorough clean up afterwards. No mess left on your paths or lawn.
How I can help protect your home;
This young man cleaned my gutters today at short notice and what a great job he’s done and everything was tidied away when he’d finished and he his so friendly and polite I will certainly be having him back in the future and definitely recommend him thanks so much Callum
Staying safe and independent in your own home is paramount. I install sturdy grab rails near doors or steps and fit secure outdoor key safes for family or carers. I can also secure loose floorboards or frayed carpets to quickly remove dangerous trip hazards.
Whether you need heavy mirrors hung, shelves put up securely or confusing flat-pack furniture assembled, I can sort it. Most importantly, please don’t risk climbing on wobbly chairs, give me a ring to safely change tricky lightbulbs or beeping smoke alarm batteries.
You don’t need to pay high call out fees to a large plumbing firm for everyday annoyances. I can fix dripping taps, repair constantly running toilets, renew mouldy bath sealant and adjust swollen wooden doors or gates so they finally shut properly.
After years of working across Morecambe, Lancaster and Heysham, I’ve created this Noticeboard to share my best advice for keeping your home safe, warm, and running smoothly. Grab a cup of tea and have a read through my seasonal tips and local project updates. And remember, if you ever need a professional hand, just give me a ring!
