Lauder is a wide-street market town high on the Lauderdale plateau, with notable exposure to wind and cold-snap weather. That changes the conversation — radiator sizing, frost protection and proper heat-loss surveys really do matter here. The mix of Georgian high-street properties and newer estates off Burnside makes for varied work.
Full central heating systems across Lauder — 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 Lauder 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. TD2 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 A68.
Every Lauder 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 — both are part of our regular TD2 round, including off-grid oil and LPG servicing.
We add a margin to the standard heat-loss calc for Lauderdale exposure, and recommend higher-output radiators in north-facing rooms. It costs a little more up front but stops cold spots in January.
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.
