Reliable shower installation across Galashiels
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.
Tight terraced layouts often suit combi boilers, freeing the cylinder cupboard for storage. For shower installations, that changes the survey, specification or working sequence before price is agreed.
Shower installation in Galashiels is matched to the available hot-water system, incoming pressure and drainage rather than chosen from appearance alone. We resolve low flow, unstable temperature, failed trays and awkward waste routes, then specify electric, mixer or pumped options that suit the property. Wall preparation and enclosure sealing are included in the practical plan. This page is specifically for landlords who need to match a shower to pressure, hot-water supply and drainage.

Galashiels questions worth answering first
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.
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.
What should be checked before quoting shower installations at this Galashiels property?+
High proportion of rented properties — landlord CP12 gas safety certificates are a regular part of our TD1 work. We confirm that point on site, then match the shower installations 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 match a shower to pressure, hot-water supply and drainage. If the building or occupancy differs, the survey is where we adjust the plan.
Do you repair leaking shower trays?+
Yes, after checking whether the leak comes from seals, waste, movement or concealed pipework.
Why does my shower temperature keep changing?+
Pressure imbalance, a worn cartridge or boiler modulation can all cause it; we test before replacing parts.
