Boiler 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.

As Vaillant Advanced Installers, we fit gas, oil and LPG boilers across Selkirk with extended manufacturer warranties of up to 12 years. Most like-for-like swaps are completed in a single day; full system upgrades and conversions typically take two to three.

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

Local considerations in Selkirk

  • 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.
