Whole-system central heating work across the Borders — new installs, full system upgrades, power flushes, radiator replacements, smart controls and balancing. We handle gas, oil, LPG and heat-pump-led systems, with the same Gas Safe, OFTEC and MCS-trained engineers across all fuel types.
A full Borders central heating upgrade — boiler, controls, flush, filter and radiator works — typically runs £3,500 to £6,500.

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.
Local context matters — housing stock, fuel mix and access vary street by street across the Borders. Below are neighbourhoods we cover often:
Plumbing and heating for Maxwellheugh's mix of Victorian villas and 1960s detached homes — long pipe runs, hard water, and listed-neighbour planning sensitivity all factor in.
Combi swaps, gas upsizing, and landlord gas safety work on Kelso's 1970s–80s Broomlands estate, with care on flue positions and garage-conversion relocations.
Zoned-heating diagnostics, unvented cylinder service work, and heat-pump retrofits on Kelso's late-90s Pinnaclehill estate.
Off-grid oil, LPG and heat-pump work on the south bank of the Tweed at Springwood Park, with flood-aware plant-room siting and OFTEC tank compliance.
Combi replacements, landlord CP12s and social-landlord servicing across Langlee's mix of council, housing-association and private stock on the hill-top estate.
New-build snagging, smart-thermostat retrofits and cylinder upgrades across original and modern stock in Tweedbank at the end of the Borders Railway.
Tenement-aware boiler swaps, leak tracing and lead-pipe upgrades along Buckholmside's stone-built mill-era closes on the north-west side of Galashiels.
Cylinder upgrades, smart-controls retrofits and heat-pump feasibility surveys on Mossilee's 1990s–2000s detached stock north of Galashiels.
Council, housing-association and right-to-buy combi work on Hawick's Burnfoot estate, with back-boiler removals and flue-siting care on four-in-a-blocks.
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.
