Gas Safety Certificates in Selkirk

Selkirk's hilly layout and largely older stone-built housing stock make for some of the more interesting heating jobs we take on. The town climbs sharply from the Ettrick Water and many of the older terraces have awkward boiler locations — converted attics, understair cupboards and outhouses. Practical experience with these layouts is exactly what we bring.

Annual landlord gas safety inspections (CP12) and homeowner gas safety checks across Selkirk. 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 Selkirk 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. TD7 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 Selkirk

Steep Selkirk streets mean we plan boiler deliveries and skip placement around access — not all addresses suit a kerbside drop.
Older stone-built terraces around West Port and the Market Place often have legacy back-boilers we routinely replace with combis.
Cold-night exposure on the higher streets means oversizing radiators slightly is often worthwhile.
Many homes still rely on tank-fed hot water — we give honest advice on whether a combi conversion is the right call.

What we'll do for you

Same-day digital CP12 issued to landlord, agent and tenant on completion.
30-day automatic renewal reminder so certificates never expire by accident.
Tenant access arranged directly — we chase politely so you don't have to.
All gas appliances tested: boiler, hob, oven, fire, meter and exposed pipework.
Tightness test (let-by and standing pressure) on the meter as standard.
Minor faults (loose flue, isolation valve seizure) fixed on the visit where possible.

Selkirk Gas Safety Certificates FAQs

Can you replace a back boiler in a Selkirk terrace?+

Yes — back boiler removal and combi installation is one of the most common jobs we do in TD7. We plan flue routing, gas supply upgrades and chimney capping in one visit.

Do you cover the Ettrick and Yarrow valleys?+

Yes — Ettrickbridge, Yarrowford, Ashkirk and surrounding rural addresses are all part of our Selkirk round, including oil and LPG work.

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.
