Bruntsfield is high-value Victorian tenement territory on the edge of the Links — big bay windows, high ceilings and owner-occupiers who upgrade properly rather than patch.
Property stock in Bruntsfield
Four-storey sandstone tenements with original box-sash windows, shared closes and communal chimney stacks. Internal wall insulation, sash restoration with draught-proofing and correctly sized weather-compensated combis carry the best payback.
What does a Bruntsfield tenement boiler replacement cost?
Like-for-like combi swaps start at £2,295 fitted including flue, filter, chemical flush and Building Regulations certificate. Flue reroutes and gas riser upgrades are itemised before you sign.
Can I improve a bay window without replacing it?
Yes — heritage draught-proofing, refurbished pulleys and slimline secondary glazing typically cut bay heat loss by 50-60% while keeping the original sashes.
Is Bruntsfield in a conservation area?
Most of Bruntsfield sits inside a conservation area, so external wall insulation and full window replacement are usually refused. We scope consent needs at survey.
Are your engineers Gas Safe registered and vetted?
Every install and repair is delivered by a vetted partner Gas Safe registered engineer. We check ID, insurance and recent reviews before any engineer works under the Heatscape name.
Do you offer finance or spread-payment options?
Yes — 0% APR over 24 months and longer-term plans up to 10 years via our FCA-regulated finance partner, subject to status. We quote the full monthly cost upfront.
How is the price fixed — will there be extras on the day?
Every quote is fixed price, no hidden extras. Anything that could vary (gas riser upgrade, flue reroute, factor consent) is itemised on the quote before you sign.
Quoted on Monday, fitted by Friday. Fixed price, no surprises, and the engineer cleaned up better than I did. House is finally warm in the upstairs bedrooms.
