TD5 · Scottish Borders · for rural owners
Complete bathroom projects in Kelso
Kelso is our home town and the base of every van we run. The mix of Georgian townhouses around The Square, modern estates off Inch Road and farms out toward Sprouston means we see almost every kind of heating system in one postcode — gas combis, oil boilers, LPG installs and a growing number of heat pump retrofits.
Hard water in parts of TD5 means scale management and filter housings are worth specifying on new installs. For bathroom installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
We design, supply and install full bathrooms across Kelso — wet rooms, en-suites, walk-in showers, freestanding baths and full family bathroom refits. One project-managed team handles strip-out, plumbing, electrics, plastering and tiling, so you only ever deal with us. No three different trades calling at different times, no gaps in the schedule, no finger-pointing if something doesn't line up. This page is specifically for rural owners who need to plan a complete, project-managed bathroom rather than coordinate separate trades.

Before you book: local practical answers
Do you cover the rural villages around Kelso?+
Yes — Sprouston, Stichill, Ednam, Smailholm, Yetholm, Morebattle and Greenlaw are all part of our normal local round, including off-grid oil and LPG work.
Are you actually based in Kelso?+
Yes — Graham Oliver Plumbing & Heating is registered at 11 Thomson View, Kelso TD5 7UD. Every van starts and finishes in town, so call-outs in Kelso usually mean same-day attendance.
What should be checked before quoting bathroom installations at this Kelso property?+
Outlying farms and steadings (Sprouston, Stichill, Smailholm) are off the gas grid and rely on oil or LPG, which we install and maintain regularly. We confirm that point on site, then match the bathroom installations specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD5 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at rural owners?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise rural owners who need to plan a complete, project-managed bathroom rather than coordinate separate trades. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
Do you supply the bathroom or do I buy it?+
Either works — we can supply through trade accounts at a discount, or fit a bathroom you've sourced yourself. We're transparent on both routes inside the written quote.
Will I be without a bathroom the whole time?+
Usually yes if it's the only one — but we plan around it, leave a working WC overnight where possible, and keep the disruption window as tight as we can.
