Yes, across every trade a property needs. We are a family-run firm of building contractors, not a faceless outfit. Our gas engineers are Gas Safe registered, our electricians are NICEIC approved contractors, and our plumbing work is backed by membership of SNIPEF, the Scottish and Northern Ireland Plumbing Employers Federation, and affiliation with CIPHE, the Chartered Institute of Plumbing and Heating Engineering. We are also Federation of Master Builders members and TrustMark registered, the Government endorsed quality scheme. Every one of those requires independent vetting. We carry public liability insurance and work to a written contract.

Yes, and it is a large part of what we do. That covers void property turnarounds between tenancies, end of tenancy repairs and making good, reactive call outs, and planned maintenance on a schedule. Because every trade is in house we can strip, repair, decorate and hand a property back in one coordinated visit rather than waiting on separate contractors. Reports come with photographs and a written scope, which is what an agent needs to justify a deduction or bill an owner.

Both. A blocked gutter, a slipped slate, a sticking door or a leaking waste are exactly the jobs that turn into expensive ones if they are left, and they are worth doing properly. We will tell you honestly when a repair is worth doing and when a property would be better served by a larger piece of work. There is no minimum job value, though for very small items we may suggest grouping a few together into one visit so you are not paying a call out for each.

Usually, and it is rarely rising damp. Granite and rubble walls in Aberdeen were built to breathe. The most common causes we find are failed or cement pointing, blown harling, a blocked or overflowing gutter, defective flashings or an impermeable modern render trapping moisture in the wall. We diagnose the route the water is actually taking before anything gets replastered, then fix the cause: repointing in an appropriate lime mortar, repairing harling, or putting the rainwater goods right.

The first job is making the property safe and watertight, which we can usually do quickly. After that we document the damage properly with photographs and a written scope so an insurance claim is straightforward rather than a fight. We work directly with homeowners and with loss adjusters, and we will tell you plainly whether a job is worth claiming for or cheaper to settle privately once you account for the excess and the effect on your premium.

It depends entirely on the work, which is why we survey before quoting rather than giving a figure over the phone. What we will commit to is that the quote is in writing, it is itemised, and we do not start work we have not priced. If something unexpected appears once we open a wall or lift a slate, you hear about it before we act, not after. The survey and the written quote are free and there is no obligation to proceed.
