Boiler Servicing & Repairs in Selkirk

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.

Annual servicing, breakdown repairs, landlord gas safety certificates (CP12) and heating system upgrades across Selkirk. 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.

Most Selkirk call-outs we attend fall into a small number of repeatable patterns — pressure-loss in older sealed systems, expansion vessel failures, sticky diverter valves and corroded heat exchangers caused by sludge. Carrying common Vaillant, Worcester and Ideal spares on the van means most TD7 repairs are sorted on the first visit rather than a return trip a week later.

Travel from our Kelso base: 40 minutes via the A699.

Local considerations in Selkirk

  • 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.

What we'll do for you

  • 24/7 emergency line answered locally — no national call centre triage.
  • Annual servicing keeps your manufacturer warranty valid and flags small faults early.
  • Landlord CP12 gas safety certificates issued promptly with reminder service.
  • Honest fix-vs-replace advice — most repairs are well under the cost of replacement.
  • Power-flushes, magnetic filters and thermostat upgrades quoted alongside the repair.
  • All major brands carried as common spares on the van for first-visit fixes.
