Edinburgh's medieval Old Town — listed tenements, HMOs and heritage flats. Landlord compliance, gas safety, sympathetic insulation and sash restoration lead.
Property stock in Old Town
World Heritage Site rules dominate. Fabric upgrades focus on floor, roof, ventilation and secondary glazing. Boiler installs route around flue restrictions and shared closes.
How quickly can I get a gas safety certificate in the Old Town?
Same-week as standard; same-day if booked before 2pm. Vetted partner Gas Safe registered engineer attends.
Can I install internal wall insulation in a listed flat?
Usually yes with breathable build-ups (wood-fibre + lime plaster) and Listed Building Consent where required.
What's the right boiler for an Old Town flat?
Compact condensing combi with rear-elevation flue or concealed lightwell route. Sized to the flat's emitter circuit 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.
