Underfloor heating work in the Scottish Borders starts with floor construction, heat loss and available build-up, not a generic pipe spacing. We plan wet systems for extensions, renovations and low-temperature heat sources, while also diagnosing manifolds with stuck actuators, airlocked loops or uneven room temperatures. The design is coordinated with floor finishes and the main heating controls so the system remains serviceable after handover.

Step 1
We confirm build-up, insulation, finish and room-by-room heat demand.
Step 2
Manifold position, loop lengths and control zones are set out before installation.
Step 3
Pipework is laid and tested before screed or overlay covers it.
Step 4
Loops are purged, balanced and demonstrated with the chosen controls.
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.
Yes, when output and surface-temperature limits are designed around the exact board and covering.
Common causes include a stuck actuator, trapped air or poor manifold balance; each can be tested without lifting the floor.
Usually very suitable because the large emitter area can deliver comfort at lower flow temperatures.
