Galashiels property and heating guide
Galashiels sits in Scottish Borders (TD1). 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.
Galashiels brings us a steady mix of combi swaps, landlord gas safety work and bathroom installs — TD1 is on our regular weekly rota from Kelso.
Tweedbank's newer estate properties usually have system boilers we can swap like-for-like in a day.
