Coldstream sits right on the border, with a tight high street, a strong rural hinterland on both sides of the Tweed and a steady stream of cross-border work into north Northumberland. Many properties here are stone-built and sit outside the mains gas network, making oil servicing and LPG installs a real specialism for the area.
Full kitchen plumbing, gas and heating works across Coldstream — from new-build first-fix through to refurbishment hob isolation, sink waste re-routing, dishwasher and washing-machine connections, water softener installation and integrated boiler relocations. We work alongside your kitchen fitter or project-manage the entire trade package ourselves, so the gas, water and electrics line up with the cabinets on day one rather than chasing snags after handover.
Kitchens in Coldstream touch every trade — gas hob isolation, waste re-routing, water softener flow rates, electrics, tiling and joinery. We project-manage the plumbing, gas and heating side end-to-end across TD12 so your kitchen fitter isn't waiting on a Gas Safe slot. Hob, oven and washer connections are pressure-tested and certified before sign-off.
Travel from our Kelso base: 15 minutes via the A698.
Local considerations in Coldstream
Older stone cottages along the High Street need sensitive flue routing.
Several large country houses around the Hirsel estate need bespoke design rather than off-the-shelf kit.
Cold easterly exposure across the haughs means accurate radiator sizing matters more than people expect.
Off-grid rural properties on both sides of the river rely on oil or LPG — we install, service and repair all major brands.
What we'll do for you
Hob isolation valve fitted in an accessible location — Building Regs compliant.
Pressure-tested gas connections to hob and oven, certified before sign-off.
Waste pipework re-routed cleanly — no fall-rate compromises that cause smells later.
Water softener and filtered tap installations sized to actual incoming flow rate.
Boiler relocations costed honestly — sometimes a re-route is cheaper than a new flue.
Coordinated with kitchen fitter, electrician and tiler so trades don't clash.

Can you work on country houses around the Hirsel estate?+
Yes — bespoke heating design for larger country properties is a regular part of what we do. We size systems and zone controls properly rather than fitting domestic kit at scale.
Do you cover off-grid properties around Coldstream?+
Yes — most of our TD12 work is off-grid oil and LPG servicing, repairs and replacements. We carry common spares for Grant, Worcester Bosch, Warmflow and Vaillant on the van.
Do you install kitchens or just the plumbing?+
We handle the plumbing, gas, heating and boiler-relocation side end-to-end. We'll also coordinate with your kitchen fitter, or recommend trusted local fitters we've worked with for years.
Can you move my boiler to fit a new kitchen layout?+
Yes — boiler relocations are routine. We'll talk you through flue-route options, condensate drainage and the cost trade-off vs replacing with a new combi in a different location.
Do I need a Building Notice for kitchen plumbing?+
Only for gas appliance moves and certain drainage changes. We lodge the notice with your local authority on your behalf where required and include the cost in the written quote.
