Classic four-storey Edinburgh tenements with one of the city's heaviest student-rental concentrations. Landlord compliance and tenement heating upgrades dominate.
Property stock in Marchmont
Top-floor flats lose heat through uninsulated mansards; rafter insulation plus internal wall insulation transforms EPC bands. Gas safety certificates, landlord boiler service and quick-turn combi swaps are the high-frequency jobs.
How quickly can you turn around a landlord gas safety certificate?
Same-week as standard, same-day when you enquire before 2pm. Vetted partner Gas Safe registered engineer attends and the certificate is issued the same day.
What's the cheapest way to lift EPC in a Marchmont top-floor flat?
Mansard rafter insulation plus a condensing combi with weather compensation typically delivers a full EPC band uplift for under £3,500 owner contribution.
Do you coordinate with neighbours for common-stair work?
Yes — for common-roof, riser or close insulation works we provide a written scope every owner can sign off under the Tenements (Scotland) Act 2004.
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.

Tenement flue routing was a nightmare with the last quote we got. Heatscape actually solved it and dealt with the factor for us. Damp gone too.
