Kitchen plumbing and gas work in Duns
Duns is the natural service town for Berwickshire — a working market town surrounded by big agricultural country. The mix of Victorian stone houses around the Square, post-war estates off Castle Street and a wide rural patch reaching toward Polwarth and Greenlaw makes for a healthy spread of gas, oil and LPG work.
Town-centre Victorian properties often need careful flue siting against listed neighbours. For kitchen installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
Full kitchen plumbing, gas and heating works across Duns — 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. This page is specifically for rural owners who need to coordinate gas, water, waste and heating work around the kitchen programme.

Duns questions worth answering first
Can you handle multi-zone systems in larger Duns properties?+
Yes — we design and zone larger heating systems properly, including zoned weather compensation and underfloor heating where it makes sense.
Do you cover the rural Berwickshire farms around Duns?+
Yes — Polwarth, Greenlaw, Gavinton, Allanton and the wider TD11 patch are part of our normal Duns round, with most farm and steading work booked in within the week.
What should be checked before quoting kitchen installations at this Duns property?+
Berwickshire farmland means a steady stream of farmhouse and steading installs with their own quirks (long pipe runs, multiple zones). We confirm that point on site, then match the kitchen installations specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD11 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at rural owners?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise rural owners who need to coordinate gas, water, waste and heating work around the kitchen programme. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
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.
