Victorian seaside villas and period terraces along Edinburgh's coast. Coastal exposure pushes ventilation-led IWI, marine-spec boilers and damp surveys.
Property stock in Portobello
Salt air and prevailing rain make breathable IWI and PIV ventilation the safer route. Coastal corrosion shortens boiler component life; we specify accordingly.
Yes — we specify marine-spec components, internal condensate routing where possible and corrosion-resistant flue terminals.
What's the right ventilation strategy for a coastal stone home?
PIV (positive input ventilation) plus continuous-running dMEV in wet rooms keeps moisture moving without overcooling the property.
Are solar arrays worth it on a Portobello roof?
Yes for south- and east-facing roofs. Salt exposure means we specify aluminium mounts and marine-grade fixings.
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.
