Complete bathroom projects in Selkirk
Selkirk's hilly layout and largely older stone-built housing stock make for some of the more interesting heating jobs we take on. The town climbs sharply from the Ettrick Water and many of the older terraces have awkward boiler locations — converted attics, understair cupboards and outhouses. Practical experience with these layouts is exactly what we bring.
Steep Selkirk streets mean we plan boiler deliveries and skip placement around access — not all addresses suit a kerbside drop. For bathroom installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
We design, supply and install full bathrooms across Selkirk — 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.

Property and access context
Read the property before choosing the system
- Steep Selkirk streets mean we plan boiler deliveries and skip placement around access — not all addresses suit a kerbside drop.
- Older stone-built terraces around West Port and the Market Place often have legacy back-boilers we routinely replace with combis.
- Cold-night exposure on the higher streets means oversizing radiators slightly is often worthwhile.
- Many homes still rely on tank-fed hot water — we give honest advice on whether a combi conversion is the right call.
Before you book: local practical answers
Can you replace a back boiler in a Selkirk terrace?+
Yes — back boiler removal and combi installation is one of the most common jobs we do in TD7. We plan flue routing, gas supply upgrades and chimney capping in one visit.
Do you cover the Ettrick and Yarrow valleys?+
Yes — Ettrickbridge, Yarrowford, Ashkirk and surrounding rural addresses are all part of our Selkirk round, including oil and LPG work.
What should be checked before quoting bathroom installations at this Selkirk property?+
Cold-night exposure on the higher streets means oversizing radiators slightly is often worthwhile. We confirm that point on site, then match the bathroom installations specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD7 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.
How long does a full bathroom take?+
A typical full refit takes 7–10 working days from strip-out to finish. Wet rooms and en-suites may take a little longer depending on tile choice, drainage runs and any structural changes.
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.

STEP 3
Design visit
We measure up, talk through layout, finishes and any structural considerations.
STEP 4
Quote & supply
Itemised written quote with full supply list — every tap, tile and trim costed.
Start with the property, not a stock bathroom installations quote
Tell us the building type, the issue and your TD7 address. We will confirm whether a survey, diagnostic visit or urgent response is the useful next step.
Selkirk is not being treated as an interchangeable location page. The recommendation starts with steep selkirk streets mean we plan boiler deliveries and skip placement around access — not all addresses suit a kerbside drop. It then combines bathroom installations, the needs of rural owners, access via the A699, and nearby coverage toward Ettrickbridge and Ashkirk.
