Melrose has one of the most varied housing stocks in the Borders — Victorian villas around Dingleton and the High Street, smaller estates off Weirhill and traditional cottages up toward Eildon. Combine that with a high proportion of second homes and holiday lets and you get a town where reliable heating, sensible servicing intervals and quiet, efficient kit really matter.
24/7 emergency plumbing and heating cover across Melrose — 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 Melrose 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 TD6 road access and can give an honest ETA rather than a vague "within the hour".
Travel from our Kelso base: 25 minutes via the A6091.
Every emergency call-out in Melrose is followed up the next working day with a written summary, photos and a plain-English fix-vs-replace recommendation.

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.
Around Melrose we also cover:
Yes — we deliberately keep autumn slots free for holiday-let owners across TD6. Booking in September or early October avoids a January breakdown when the property is fully booked.
Often, yes — but the radiators usually need upsizing, and we'll model heat loss properly for the older stone walls. We'll be honest if a high-efficiency boiler is a better short-term fit.
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.
All of the Scottish Borders and East Lothian — Kelso, Melrose, Galashiels, Hawick, Jedburgh, Duns, Coldstream, Berwick, Dunbar, North Berwick, Haddington, Musselburgh and the surrounding villages.
