TD7 · Scottish Borders · for rural owners
Selkirk kitchen services coordinated with your fitter
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.
Many homes still rely on tank-fed hot water — we give honest advice on whether a combi conversion is the right call. For kitchen installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
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. This page is specifically for rural owners who need to coordinate gas, water, waste and heating work around the kitchen programme.

Selkirk questions worth answering first
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 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.
What should be checked before quoting kitchen installations at this Selkirk property?+
Cold-night exposure on the higher streets means oversizing radiators slightly is often worthwhile. We confirm that point on site, then match the kitchen installations specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD7 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.
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.
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.

Property and access context
Selkirk details that affect the specification
- 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.
- 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.

A written Selkirk quote follows a proper look at the property, including the local constraint highlighted above and the needs of rural owners.
Selkirk is not being treated as an interchangeable location page. The recommendation starts with many homes still rely on tank-fed hot water — we give honest advice on whether a combi conversion is the right call. It then combines kitchen installations, the needs of rural owners, access via the A699, and nearby coverage toward Ettrickbridge and Ashkirk.
