Dunbar mixes historic harbour-side properties, Victorian villas along the seafront and modern estates inland. The town sits in one of the sunniest, driest pockets in Scotland but still gets serious easterly exposure on the coast — which changes how outdoor pipework, flue terminations and heat-pump units need to be specified.
Full kitchen plumbing, gas and heating works across Dunbar — 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 Dunbar 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 EH42 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: 55 minutes via the A1.
Local considerations in Dunbar
Modern inland estates are gas-fed and combi-friendly.
Strong holiday-let market means autumn pre-season servicing is in demand.
Older Victorian villas often have legacy gravity systems we upgrade to fully pumped.
Coastal salt-air exposure on harbour and seafront addresses — corrosion-aware components specified.
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.

Should harbour-side Dunbar properties spec anything special?+
Yes — corrosion-resistant flue terminations and external pipework are well worth specifying on harbour-side EH42 properties. We do this as standard.
Do you cover Dunbar even though it's a fair drive from Kelso?+
Yes — we run dedicated East Lothian days that take in Dunbar, so EH42 work is scheduled efficiently rather than as a one-off long trip.
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.
