24/7 Emergency Plumber & Heating Engineer — Scottish Borders

Locally answered 24/7 line covering the whole of the Scottish Borders, from Kelso out to Eyemouth, Hawick, Galashiels and Peebles. You speak to an engineer, not a national call centre, with honest ETAs based on where the van actually is — not a generic 'within four hours' promise.

Out-of-hours call-out from £120 + parts; we quote the likely range on the phone before we travel.

Why Borders homeowners pick us for emergency plumber

  • Locally answered out-of-hours — straight to a Gas Safe engineer, not a triage script.
  • Transparent out-of-hours pricing — quoted on the phone before we set off, never invented on the doorstep.
  • Burst pipes, no-heat, no-hot-water, gas smells, flue faults — first-call resolution wherever possible.
  • Landlord and letting-agent cover with same-day reactive reporting and certificates.

What we'll do

  • 24/7 line answered by a real engineer — not a call-centre triage queue.
  • Honest ETA based on actual road distance from Kelso, not a vague 'within the hour'.
  • Common spares carried on the van — most emergencies sorted on the first visit.
  • Phone-side guidance immediately so you can isolate water, gas or electrics safely.
  • Out-of-hours pricing published openly — no surprise multipliers on the invoice.
  • Follow-up visit the next working day with a written report and fix-vs-replace recommendation.
