Covering Galashiels and nearby

If you're just outside Galashiels, we also cover Selkirk (5 miles), Hawick (13 miles), Jedburgh (14 miles).

Where a job turns into a replacement, the Building (Scotland) Regulations 2004 apply and we confirm how the work will be signed off before we start. Listed buildings in Scotland need listed building consent from the planning authority for alterations, with Historic Environment Scotland guidance; check before changing a lantern on a listed property.
