Galashiels is the largest town we cover west of Kelso. The housing stock skews toward terraced and semi-detached gas properties around Tweedbank, Langlee and the town centre, with a steady stream of student and rental conversions thanks to the Borders College and Heriot-Watt campus. That makes for steady demand for combi installs, landlord gas safety certificates and quick-turnaround repairs.
Full central heating systems across Galashiels — first-time installations, system conversions (open-vent to sealed, gravity to fully-pumped), radiator and TRV upgrades, power-flushes, magnetic filter retrofits and zoning. We design the system around your property's actual heat-loss and hot-water demand, not a generic kW rule of thumb, so the result is a quiet, balanced system that warms every room evenly rather than one hot rad and three cold ones.
Full central heating upgrades in Galashiels are about more than the boiler. We balance the radiators, fit TRVs on every room, add a magnetic filter, replace tired pipework where corrosion has set in and zone the system if the layout justifies it. TD1 homes with long pipe runs particularly benefit from rezoning and a proper power-flush at change-over.
Travel from our Kelso base: 35 minutes via the A6091.
Every Galashiels central heating upgrade includes a benchmarked commissioning record, magnetic filter and a written balancing sheet for each radiator.
Step 1
Room-by-room calculation, current radiator audit and pipework condition check.
Step 2
Itemised proposal — emitter sizes, pipework runs, zoning, controls and timeline.
Step 3
Pipework, emitters, controls and boiler tie-in. Power-flush at change-over.
Step 4
Each radiator balanced individually, controls demo'd, benchmarked record left on site.
Yes — Tweedbank, Stow, Clovenfords and Fountainhall are all on our normal Galashiels round, often combined into one visit when scheduling.
Most landlord gas safety certificates in TD1 are booked in within a few working days. Tell us how many properties you have and we'll plan a single round to keep costs down.
A boiler swap is the boiler only. A central heating upgrade also addresses radiators, pipework, controls and balancing — useful when the existing system is sluggish, noisy or unevenly heated rather than just old.
If the system is more than ~10 years old or you're upgrading the boiler on an unflushed system, yes — manufacturer warranties typically require it. We test the system water and recommend honestly rather than blanket-selling flushes.
Yes — most homes benefit from at least two zones (e.g. upstairs / downstairs or living / sleeping). We cost zoning alongside the boiler and controls so you see the full picture before committing.
