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.
Annual landlord gas safety inspections (CP12) and homeowner gas safety checks across Galashiels. Our Gas Safe registered engineers test every gas appliance — boiler, hob, fire, meter and pipework — for soundness, ventilation, flueing and combustion performance, then issue the certificate the same day. We deal with tenants directly to arrange access, file the digital certificate to you and your letting agent, and set a reminder so the renewal never lapses.
Landlord gas safety inspections in Galashiels need scheduling around tenants — we book direct with them, work to a same-day CP12 issue, and chase access politely so renewals don't lapse. TD1 stock ranges from period flats with shared flues to modern builds with room-sealed combis, and the inspection regime differs accordingly. Every certificate is digitally filed and a renewal reminder sent 30 days before expiry.
Travel from our Kelso base: 35 minutes via the A6091.

Do you cover Tweedbank and the railway-line villages?+
Yes — Tweedbank, Stow, Clovenfords and Fountainhall are all on our normal Galashiels round, often combined into one visit when scheduling.
How much is a landlord gas safety certificate?+
Single-property CP12s typically run £75–£95 depending on the number of gas appliances. Multi-property landlords get a portfolio discount — ask for a written quote.
How long does the inspection take?+
Usually 30–45 minutes for a one-bedroom flat with a boiler and hob. Larger properties with multiple gas appliances run to about an hour.
What happens if an appliance fails?+
We isolate the unsafe appliance, issue a Warning Notice and quote in writing for the repair. The CP12 is issued for the safe appliances and re-issued in full once the fault is rectified.
