Coldstream property and heating guide
Older stone cottages along the High Street need sensitive flue routing.
Coldstream's mix of off-grid rural properties and tight high-street cottages keeps our oil, LPG and bespoke design work busy — and TD12 is barely 15 minutes from base.
Coldstream sits right on the border, with a tight high street, a strong rural hinterland on both sides of the Tweed and a steady stream of cross-border work into north Northumberland. Many properties here are stone-built and sit outside the mains gas network, making oil servicing and LPG installs a real specialism for the area. Access is normally via the A698.

Coldstream questions worth answering first
Can you work on country houses around the Hirsel estate?+
Yes — bespoke heating design for larger country properties is a regular part of what we do. We size systems and zone controls properly rather than fitting domestic kit at scale.
Do you cover off-grid properties around Coldstream?+
Yes — most of our TD12 work is off-grid oil and LPG servicing, repairs and replacements. We carry common spares for Grant, Worcester Bosch, Warmflow and Vaillant on the van.
