Kitchen Installations 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.

Full kitchen plumbing, gas and heating works across Selkirk — 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 Selkirk 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 TD7 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: 40 minutes via the A699.

Local considerations in Selkirk

  • 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.
  • Steep Selkirk streets mean we plan boiler deliveries and skip placement around access — not all addresses suit a kerbside drop.

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.

Selkirk Kitchen Installations FAQs

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.

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 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.
