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.
24/7 emergency plumbing and heating cover across Galashiels — burst pipes, no-heat call-outs, no-hot-water faults, leaking cylinders and overflowing tanks. The out-of-hours line is answered locally by an engineer, not a national call centre, so you get an honest ETA and a clear first-step over the phone (where to turn the stop-tap, how to drain the system) before we even arrive on site.
When a pipe bursts in Galashiels the priority is stopping the water, drying the area and stabilising the system before any cosmetic repair. Our 24/7 line is answered locally — not routed through a national call centre — so you talk to an engineer who knows TD1 road access and can give an honest ETA rather than a vague "within the hour".
Travel from our Kelso base: 35 minutes via the A6091.
Every emergency call-out in Galashiels is followed up the next working day with a written summary, photos and a plain-English fix-vs-replace recommendation.

Photos, root-cause and a fix-vs-replace recommendation in writing the next day.
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.
Yes — Tweedbank, Stow, Clovenfords and Fountainhall are all on our normal Galashiels round, often combined into one visit when scheduling.
Burst pipe, uncontrolled leak, no heating in winter, no hot water, gas smell, flue fault or overflowing tank. Anything that risks property damage, health or safety qualifies for our out-of-hours service.
Out-of-hours call-out plus first hour is fixed — we'll quote it openly on the call before dispatch. Parts and any extended work are quoted in writing before chargeable hours start ticking.
