Galashiels is the largest town we cover west of Kelso. The housing stock skews toward terraced and semi-detached gas properties around Tweedbank, Langlee and the town centre, with a steady stream of student and rental conversions thanks to the Borders College and Heriot-Watt campus. That makes for steady demand for combi installs, landlord gas safety certificates and quick-turnaround repairs.
Full kitchen plumbing, gas and heating works across Galashiels — 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 Galashiels 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 TD1 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: 35 minutes via the A6091.
Local considerations in Galashiels
Tight terraced layouts often suit combi boilers, freeing the cylinder cupboard for storage.
Tweedbank's newer estate properties usually have system boilers we can swap like-for-like in a day.
Borders Railway commuters appreciate evening or early-morning attendance — we book these slots when we can.
High proportion of rented properties — landlord CP12 gas safety certificates are a regular part of our TD1 work.
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.

Do you cover Tweedbank and the railway-line villages?+
Yes — Tweedbank, Stow, Clovenfords and Fountainhall are all on our normal Galashiels round, often combined into one visit when scheduling.
How quickly can you issue a CP12 in Galashiels?+
Most landlord gas safety certificates in TD1 are booked in within a few working days. Tell us how many properties you have and we'll plan a single round to keep costs down.
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.
