Who owns the social homes in Edinburgh?
City of Edinburgh Council is one of the 26 Scottish councils that still own their homes. Housing associations (registered social landlords) also own social homes in Edinburgh, and we can work for both.
What do we cover in Edinburgh?
- Survey, layout and resident choice within your specification
- Strip-out, asbestos checks and waste removal
- Wet-wall panelling or tiling and slip-resistant flooring
- Humidity-controlled extract fans
- Electrical work in special locations, certified and notified where required
How do we deliver it?
We fit humidity-controlled extract ventilation as part of the renewal, because a new bathroom without effective extract is a future damp and mould call.
Which rules apply in Edinburgh?
Under the Control of Asbestos Regulations 2012, the presence of asbestos must be assessed (or presumed) before work that could disturb it, and a refurbishment and demolition survey is needed before intrusive work in buildings built or refurbished before 2000. Licensed asbestos work is carried out only by licensed contractors.
