Local knowledge

Areas we cover

Property care is a local business. What a building is made of, who owns the roof and what the council will allow all change from one street to the next — so each area has its own page, its own trades and its own enquiry form.

City-wide property care

Edinburgh

From New Town flats and Marchmont tenements to Corstorphine semis and Fountainbridge new-builds, Edinburgh property needs looking after by people who know what they are walking into. Lothian Property Care arranges the trades — you approve the price before anything is booked.

Edinburgh property care

Shore, Bonnington and the docks

Leith

Leith is colonies, converted warehouses, tenements off the Walk and waterside flats around the Shore — three different maintenance problems in one postcode. It is also the busiest rental patch in the city, so a lot of the work here is landlord and between-tenancy work.

Leith property care

Stockbridge, Comely Bank and the Colonies

Stockbridge

Stockbridge property is largely traditional and largely protected: Georgian terraces, Raeburn-era stone, the Colonies and the tenements above the shops on Raeburn Place and St Stephen Street. The work here is careful repair in matching materials, not quick replacement.

The Prom, Joppa and the seaside streets

Portobello

Portobello property works harder than most: salt air off the Forth, driven rain on seafront elevations and a busy holiday-let market. We arrange the trades who know the difference between a marine-exposed repair and an inland one — you approve the written quote first.

Bungalows, villas and the old village

Corstorphine

Corstorphine is house territory: interwar bungalows, post-war semis and village property along St John's Road. The work here is roofs, render, gutters, driveways and gardens — and because access is easy, it is usually among the most reasonably priced in the city.

EH12

Corstorphine property care

Tenements, villas and shared repairs

Morningside & Bruntsfield

Morningside and Bruntsfield are Edinburgh's classic shared-building districts: stone tenements and converted villas where the roof, stair and drains belong to everyone. The hard part is rarely the work — it is getting the owners organised, and that is where we start.

Morningside & Bruntsfield property care

The old burgh under the bridges

South Queensferry

South Queensferry's High Street is one of the most protected streets in Scotland, and the salt wind off the Forth does not respect it. Work here is careful, consented and planned — matching stone, slate and timber on listed buildings, with newer housing on the hills above.

South Queensferry property care

Old villas, new estates

Bonnyrigg & Lasswade

Bonnyrigg and Lasswade split neatly in two: handsome Victorian property around Broomieknowe and the river, and fast-growing modern estates at Hopefield and Waverley. We arrange trades for both — careful repair on the old stock, snagging and first-cycle maintenance on the new.

Mill town under the Pentlands

Penicuik

Penicuik sits high and exposed, and the weather writes the maintenance list: roofs, harling, chimneys and gutters tested by Pentland wind and rain. We arrange trades who know the town's mill-era core and its post-war and modern estates.

EH26

Penicuik property care

The Pans, Cockenzie and Port Seton

Prestonpans

Prestonpans holds some of East Lothian's oldest inhabited buildings right on the shore, with Cockenzie and Port Seton along the same coastal strip. Salt air, old stone and pantile, and flood-aware drainage are the everyday realities here.

EH32

Prestonpans property care

Mining town, new estates

Tranent

Tranent is growing fast: a stone High Street and former miners' rows wrapped in some of East Lothian's biggest new developments. We arrange trades for the old stock's stone and roof work and the new estates' snagging, drainage and decoration.

East Lothian's county town

Haddington

Haddington's Georgian and Victorian core is one of the most protected town centres in Scotland, and its distance from Edinburgh means planning ahead matters. We arrange local and travelling trades who know listed stone, slate and sash — and who book out further ahead here.

EH41

Haddington property care

Harbour town on the North Sea

Dunbar

Dunbar takes the North Sea full-face: a harbour town of stone terraces and fishermen's housing forty miles from most Edinburgh trades. Marine exposure and distance shape everything — annual checks, batched jobs and trades who will travel.

EH42

Dunbar property care

Palace, loch and the M9 corridor

Linlithgow

Linlithgow pairs one of Scotland's most protected town centres with strong commuter growth. The old core needs traditional, consented repair; the newer estates need the ordinary cycle done well. Sitting between Edinburgh and Glasgow gives a healthy trade network from both directions.

EH49

Linlithgow property care

At the edge of our network

Falkirk

Falkirk sits beyond our home region, and we say so plainly: the network there is smaller, and where we cannot match your job we will tell you rather than guess. What we do arrange — tenement and terrace repair, landlord compliance, between-tenancy work — is the same standard as anywhere we cover.
