Oil heating work around the Scottish Borders often involves rural access, tank condition and fuel-line routing as much as the boiler itself. We inspect combustion, filters, fire valves, condensate arrangements and visible storage risks before separating routine service items from remedial work. Replacement discussions include heat-loss demand and future low-carbon options rather than assuming another like-for-like unit is the only route.

Step 1
We inspect the boiler, supply line, filters and accessible storage condition.
Step 2
Components are cleaned or replaced and combustion is tested.
Step 3
Safety, efficiency and future repair priorities are separated clearly.
Step 4
Service timing or replacement options are recorded for the property.
Local context matters — housing stock, fuel mix and access vary street by street across the Borders. Below are neighbourhoods we cover often:
Plumbing and heating for Maxwellheugh's mix of Victorian villas and 1960s detached homes — long pipe runs, hard water, and listed-neighbour planning sensitivity all factor in.
Combi swaps, gas upsizing, and landlord gas safety work on Kelso's 1970s–80s Broomlands estate, with care on flue positions and garage-conversion relocations.
Zoned-heating diagnostics, unvented cylinder service work, and heat-pump retrofits on Kelso's late-90s Pinnaclehill estate.
Off-grid oil, LPG and heat-pump work on the south bank of the Tweed at Springwood Park, with flood-aware plant-room siting and OFTEC tank compliance.
Combi replacements, landlord CP12s and social-landlord servicing across Langlee's mix of council, housing-association and private stock on the hill-top estate.
New-build snagging, smart-thermostat retrofits and cylinder upgrades across original and modern stock in Tweedbank at the end of the Borders Railway.
Tenement-aware boiler swaps, leak tracing and lead-pipe upgrades along Buckholmside's stone-built mill-era closes on the north-west side of Galashiels.
Cylinder upgrades, smart-controls retrofits and heat-pump feasibility surveys on Mossilee's 1990s–2000s detached stock north of Galashiels.
Council, housing-association and right-to-buy combi work on Hawick's Burnfoot estate, with back-boiler removals and flue-siting care on four-in-a-blocks.
Cleaning, nozzle and filter checks, combustion analysis, safety controls and inspection of the visible fuel supply.
We can record visible condition and siting concerns and explain when specialist tank work is needed.
That depends on heat loss, emitters, electricity supply and fabric; a survey compares the practical routes.
