Radiators, controls and pipework improved in Hawick
Hawick is one of the larger Borders towns, with a mix of dense Victorian terraces around the town centre, post-war housing on the outer ring and rural properties up the Slitrig and Teviot. We see a wide spread of jobs here — from combi swaps and landlord work in the centre to oil servicing on outlying farms and cottages.
Plenty of rental stock means landlord gas safety certificates feature heavily in our TD9 round. For central heating, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
Full central heating systems across Hawick — 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. This page is specifically for landlords who need to improve whole-system comfort, control and radiator performance.
Relevant work pattern
What comparable work looks like
- Annual oil service round through Denholm and Bonchester Bridge.
- Bathroom refit in a post-war semi off Mansfield Road.
- Combi swap in a Buccleuch Street terrace with full gas supply upsize.
Hawick questions worth answering first
Are heat pumps realistic in older Hawick terraces?+
Sometimes, but solid-wall Victorian terraces need a careful heat-loss survey first. In a lot of cases we'll recommend a high-efficiency gas boiler as the better short-term fit, with insulation upgrades planned alongside.
Do you cover Denholm, Bonchester Bridge and Newcastleton?+
Yes — these are all part of our regular TD9 round, including off-grid oil servicing and LPG work.
What should be checked before quoting central heating at this Hawick property?+
Dense terracing around High Street and Buccleuch Street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting. We confirm that point on site, then match the central heating specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD9 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at landlords?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise landlords who need to improve whole-system comfort, control and radiator performance. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
What's the difference between a boiler swap and a central heating upgrade?+
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.
Do I need a power-flush?+
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.
What we document before leaving

Property and access context
Hawick details that affect the specification
- Plenty of rental stock means landlord gas safety certificates feature heavily in our TD9 round.
- Dense terracing around High Street and Buccleuch Street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting.
- Older Victorian housing often has solid walls — we factor this into heat-pump heat-loss surveys honestly.
- Many outlying properties up the Slitrig valley remain off-grid and rely on oil or LPG.
A practical route through the project
STEP 1
Heat-loss survey
Room-by-room calculation, current radiator audit and pipework condition check. We also check: Plenty of rental stock means landlord gas safety certificates feature heavily in our TD9 round.
STEP 2
Design & quote
Itemised proposal — emitter sizes, pipework runs, zoning, controls and timeline.
STEP 3
Installation
Pipework, emitters, controls and boiler tie-in. Power-flush at change-over.
STEP 4
Balance & commission
Each radiator balanced individually, controls demo'd, benchmarked record left on site.

Start with the property, not a stock central heating quote
Tell us the building type, the issue and your TD9 address. We will confirm whether a survey, diagnostic visit or urgent response is the useful next step.
Hawick is not being treated as an interchangeable location page. The recommendation starts with plenty of rental stock means landlord gas safety certificates feature heavily in our td9 round. It then combines central heating, the needs of landlords, access via the A698, and nearby coverage toward Denholm and Bonchester Bridge.
