Galashiels boiler servicing with useful written records
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.
Tweedbank's newer estate properties usually have system boilers we can swap like-for-like in a day. For servicing & repairs, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
Annual servicing, breakdown repairs, landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) and heating system upgrades across Galashiels. Gas Safe registered, every major brand covered — Vaillant, Worcester Bosch, Ideal, Baxi, Grant, Warmflow — with a 24/7 line for genuine no-heat or no-hot-water emergencies. You'll always speak to a local engineer rather than a national call centre, and you'll always get an honest fix-vs-replace recommendation rather than a sales pitch. This page is specifically for landlords who need to diagnose a fault, protect a warranty or arrange preventative maintenance.

Before you book: local practical answers
Do you cover Tweedbank and the railway-line villages?+
Yes — Tweedbank, Stow, Clovenfords and Fountainhall are all on our normal Galashiels round, often combined into one visit when scheduling.
How quickly can you issue a CP12 in Galashiels?+
Most landlord gas safety certificates in TD1 are booked in within a few working days. Tell us how many properties you have and we'll plan a single round to keep costs down.
What should be checked before quoting servicing & repairs at this Galashiels property?+
Borders Railway commuters appreciate evening or early-morning attendance — we book these slots when we can. We confirm that point on site, then match the servicing & repairs specification to the actual building and access rather than assuming every TD1 address is alike.
Is this page aimed at landlords?+
Yes. The recommendations prioritise landlords who need to diagnose a fault, protect a warranty or arrange preventative maintenance. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
What does a service include?+
Strip-down clean, gas pressure and flue analysis, controls and safety check, condensate inspection, system pressure check and a written service record for your file.
How often should I service my boiler?+
Annually — most manufacturers require it to honour their warranty, and it keeps the system safe, efficient and far less likely to fail in the middle of January.
