What do we cover in Edinburgh?
- Strip-out, asbestos checks and waste removal
- Electrical work to current regulations, with certification
- Plumbing, waste and gas connections (gas work by Gas Safe registered engineers, confirmed in writing before appointment)
- Units, worktops, sink, tiling, extract and lighting
- Flooring, making good and decoration
How do we deliver it?
Trades are sequenced by a site supervisor so that strip-out, first fix and second fix follow each other without gaps, which is how a kitchen stays within its planned days.
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.
