Gas safety checks coordinated in Kelso
Gas Safety Certificates in Kelso is judged by the building, not the postcode. Newer estates such as Pinnaclehill and Inch Road typically have system or combi gas boilers — straightforward swaps with same-day completion.
From Georgian townhouses around The Square to off-grid steadings out toward Sprouston, we know Kelso properties inside out — and being based in TD5 means same-day attendance for most jobs.
Annual landlord gas safety inspections (CP12) and homeowner gas safety checks across Kelso. 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. Access is usually via TD5.

Kelso questions worth answering first
Are you actually based in Kelso?+
Yes — Graham Oliver Plumbing & Heating is registered at 11 Thomson View, Kelso TD5 7UD. Every van starts and finishes in town, so call-outs in Kelso usually mean same-day attendance.
Do you cover the rural villages around Kelso?+
Yes — Sprouston, Stichill, Ednam, Smailholm, Yetholm, Morebattle and Greenlaw are all part of our normal local round, including off-grid oil and LPG work.
Does the property itself change the gas safety certificates specification here?+
Newer estates such as Pinnaclehill and Inch Road typically have system or combi gas boilers — straightforward swaps with same-day completion. Until that is checked, any figure is a guess, so the survey comes before the price.
Does this apply to rural owners as well as everyone else here?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise rural owners who need to keep safety records current and coordinate access without chasing tenants. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
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.
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.

Property and access context
Kelso details that affect the specification
- Newer estates such as Pinnaclehill and Inch Road typically have system or combi gas boilers — straightforward swaps with same-day completion.
- Hard water in parts of TD5 means scale management and filter housings are worth specifying on new installs.
- Many properties around The Square and Bowmont Street are stone-built with limited loft space — flueing and condensate routing need careful planning.
- Outlying farms and steadings (Sprouston, Stichill, Smailholm) are off the gas grid and rely on oil or LPG, which we install and maintain regularly.
