Gas Safe engineer repairing a boiler in a Scottish Borders home

Boiler Repair in Kelso and the Scottish Borders

Gas Safe registered engineers repairing all major boiler brands across the Borders and East Lothian, with a 24/7 locally answered line for genuine breakdowns.

Common boiler faults we fix

Most breakdowns we attend across the Borders come down to a handful of familiar faults. We regularly deal with:

  • Boilers losing pressure or locking out repeatedly
  • No heating or no hot water, or one working but not the other
  • Kettling, banging, humming and other unusual noises
  • Frozen condensate pipes during Borders cold snaps
  • Radiators staying cold after bleeding
  • Fault codes on Worcester Bosch, Vaillant, Ideal and Baxi boilers
  • Leaks, low pressure and noisy pipework

If your fault is listed in one of our guides, you can read up on it first: see our guides on boiler and heating problems, including losing pressure, cold radiators and frozen condensate pipes.

How a repair call-out works

  1. Get in touch. Call the 24/7 locally answered line on 07747 002334 or request a callback. You speak to an engineer, not a call centre.
  2. Diagnosis. We assess the boiler on site and give you a clear written quote before chargeable work starts.
  3. Repair. Most jobs are completed on the first visit.
  4. Aftercare. Service reminders and ongoing support once you are back up and running.

For out-of-hours emergencies, the call-out plus the first hour is a fixed fee which we quote openly on the call before we dispatch. Parts and any extended work are quoted in writing before chargeable hours start. Read more on our call-out fees page.
