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.
24/7 emergency plumbing and heating cover across Lauder — 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 Lauder 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 TD2 road access and can give an honest ETA rather than a vague "within the hour".
Travel from our Kelso base: 35 minutes via the A68.
Every emergency call-out in Lauder is followed up the next working day with a written summary, photos and a plain-English fix-vs-replace recommendation.
Step 1
Talk to an engineer, not a call handler. Get clear safe-isolation guidance.
Step 2
Real travel time from Kelso quoted before we leave — no vague promises.
Step 3
Stop the leak, restore safe pressure, isolate any damaged appliance.
Step 4
Photos, root-cause and a fix-vs-replace recommendation in writing the next day.
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.
Yes — both are part of our regular TD2 round, including off-grid oil and LPG servicing.
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.
