“Fantastic service from Innes. Hired to fit a new extractor fan in the bathroom. He walked me through the options available and what he would recommend. On the install day he arrived on time and did a very professional install in the loft.”

FAQs

Common Questions

Can't find your answer? Give us a call on 07940 071963.

Kelso landlords must have: a valid EICR every 5 years or at the start of each new tenancy, interlinked smoke and heat alarms meeting the Tolerable Standard, and gas safety certificates where applicable. All must be provided to tenants within 28 days.

Listed buildings in Kelso require careful management of electrical work — remedial work or new installations must meet both electrical safety standards and listed building consent requirements. We have experience working with Kelso's historic property stock and can advise on the appropriate approach.

Yes — holiday lets and short-term rentals in Kelso require a valid EICR and compliant alarm systems. Short-term letting platforms and insurers increasingly require current certificates before a property can be listed.

Every 5 years under Scottish legislation, or at the start of each new tenancy if sooner. For Kelso holiday lets with frequent changeovers, we recommend keeping certificates current and readily available.

All Scottish rentals must have: interlinked smoke alarms in the main living area and all circulation spaces, and a heat alarm in every kitchen. We install fully compliant interlinked systems throughout Kelso and the surrounding Borders area.

Older wiring, lack of RCD protection and undersized consumer units are common in Kelso's Georgian and Victorian rental stock. We explain every coded observation clearly and carry out all necessary remedial work to achieve a satisfactory result.

We work regularly throughout Kelso and the surrounding Borders area and can typically schedule inspections within a few days. Contact us for urgent compliance needs — new tenancy starts, council requests or insurance requirements.
