St Boswells is one of our easiest-access patches — straight up the A68, with both the village itself and Newtown St Boswells immediately adjacent. The mix of stone-built older houses around The Green, modern estates and a strong rural fringe means a healthy spread of gas, LPG and bathroom work.
Full central heating systems across St Boswells — 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 St Boswells 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. TD6 homes with long pipe runs particularly benefit from rezoning and a proper power-flush at change-over.

How fast can you reach St Boswells in an emergency?+
Most TD6 St Boswells emergencies are attended the same day — it's a 15-minute run from our Kelso base via the A68.
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.
Can you zone my heating?+
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.
