Situated at the junction of the A697 and A6105, Greenlaw presents a mix of heating challenges, from the grand Georgian residences bordering the Green to contemporary housing on the village outskirts. As the former county town of Berwickshire, the building stock varies significantly. We provide specialist support for this diverse range of homes, whether you are managing an older oil-fired system in a stone-built cottage or require a modern LPG or gas boiler service in a newer build.
Annual landlord gas safety inspections (CP12) and homeowner gas safety checks across Greenlaw. 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 Greenlaw 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. TD10 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: 25 minutes via the A697.
Local considerations in Greenlaw
With many properties in Greenlaw sitting off the mains gas network, we specialise in high-efficiency oil boiler installations and long-term maintenance for external Grant or Worcester Bosch units found in larger gardens.
The Georgian architecture surrounding the Greenlaw Town House requires careful routing for internal pipework to preserve period features. We often handle sympathetic retrofits in these older, thick-walled stone buildings.
Properties located higher up on the Blackadder Water can face pressure fluctuations. We provide tailored solutions, including unvented cylinders and booster pumps, to ensure consistent flow for modern showers and appliances.
Greenlaw's exposure to the Berwickshire winds makes insulation and heating controls vital. We install advanced Vaillant weather-compensating thermostats to adjust boiler output based on the precise outdoor temperature.

Can you help with an urgent plumbing repair near the Greenlaw Town House?+
Yes, we frequently visit Greenlaw and the surrounding farms to repair leaks, clear blockages, or install new fixtures. Whether it is a traditional stone property or a modern build, we carry the necessary tools to resolve plumbing issues promptly.
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.
