Gas Safety Certificates in Kelso

Kelso is our home town and the base of every van we run. The mix of Georgian townhouses around The Square, modern estates off Inch Road and farms out toward Sprouston means we see almost every kind of heating system in one postcode — gas combis, oil boilers, LPG installs and a growing number of heat pump retrofits.

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.

Landlord gas safety inspections in Kelso 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. TD5 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.

Local considerations in Kelso

  • 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.
  • 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.

  • Same-day digital CP12 issued to landlord, agent and tenant on completion.
