Working in Portobello and Craigmillar: what we plan for
Portobello and Craigmillar sits in City of Edinburgh, within the Scotland region. Our local crews know the area and the addresses they cover daily.
Coastal properties, salt-air realities
Salt air corrodes faster than inland equivalents — uPVC windows yellow on the sunward elevation, external metalwork pits, and patio surfaces grow algae more quickly because of constant humidity. Cleaning routines on the coast benefit from more frequent jet washes, attention to window-track drainage, and treating any external timber seasonally. We adjust schedules and chemistry to the coastal environment when we know the property is near the sea.
What's included
A mounted TV depends on three things: the right bracket for the screen weight, the right fixings for the wall type, and cable management that hides the spaghetti. We carry all three.
- Brick, plasterboard and stud walls
- Cable management options
- Soundbar and shelf fitting
- Bracket supply available

What affects the quote

- Screen size and weight
- Wall type (brick/breeze, plasterboard, stud, lath-and-plaster)
- Cable concealment (trunking vs. chase-into-wall)
- Soundbar / shelf add-ons
