Bathroom Installation 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.

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.

Bathroom layouts in Selkirk tend to fall into a few clear patterns — narrow Victorian boxrooms, mid-century three-pieces with airing cupboards, and roomier modern en-suites. We've worked through all of them across TD7, so we know which walls are typically lath-and-plaster, where the soil stack is likely to run, and how to plan a wet room without surprises mid-project.

Travel from our Kelso base: 40 minutes via the A699.

Local considerations in Selkirk

  • 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.
  • 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.

What we'll do for you

  • Full design & supply through trade accounts — usually beats high-street showroom pricing.
  • Tiling, electrics and plastering all handled in-house or by long-standing trusted trades.
  • Typical full refit completed in 7–10 working days, en-suites in 5–7.
  • Daily clean-down, dust-sheets and floor protection — we treat your home properly.
  • Waterproof tanking on every wet room and walk-in shower as standard.
  • All electrical work Part P certified, all plumbing under our Gas Safe / WIAPS cover.

Selkirk Bathroom Installations FAQs

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.

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.

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.
