Hawick property and heating guide
Hawick is one of the larger Borders towns, with a mix of dense Victorian terraces around the town centre, post-war housing on the outer ring and rural properties up the Slitrig and Teviot. We see a wide spread of jobs here — from combi swaps and landlord work in the centre to oil servicing on outlying farms and cottages.
Dense terracing around High Street and Buccleuch Street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting.
From dense Victorian terraces in the centre to off-grid steadings up the Slitrig, Hawick gives us serious variety — and TD9 is on our regular Borders rota.
Hawick questions worth answering first
Are heat pumps realistic in older Hawick terraces?+
Sometimes, but solid-wall Victorian terraces need a careful heat-loss survey first. In a lot of cases we'll recommend a high-efficiency gas boiler as the better short-term fit, with insulation upgrades planned alongside.
Do you cover Denholm, Bonchester Bridge and Newcastleton?+
Yes — these are all part of our regular TD9 round, including off-grid oil servicing and LPG work.

Property and access context
Hawick details that affect the specification
- Dense terracing around High Street and Buccleuch Street means tight gas runs and careful flue siting.
- Older Victorian housing often has solid walls — we factor this into heat-pump heat-loss surveys honestly.
- Many outlying properties up the Slitrig valley remain off-grid and rely on oil or LPG.
- Plenty of rental stock means landlord gas safety certificates feature heavily in our TD9 round.
