Business Information

Strong foundations. Trusted hands. Repairs done right.

At Acorn Services Edinburgh Ltd, we’re an insurance-approved, multi-trade building contractor delivering high-quality repairs, reinstatement works, and refurbishments across Edinburgh and the Lothians.

When properties are damaged or repairs are urgent, you need a team that shows up fast, knows exactly what they’re doing, and gets the job finished properly the first time. That’s what we’re known for.

From first call to final handover, we manage everything — all trades, all paperwork, all coordination — so you don’t have to.
Simple, professional, stress-free.

Review Comments
We had our en-suite bathroom ceiling replaced after a roof leak caused water damage to the ceiling. Acorn Services were allocated to us by our insurance company on request, as a neighbour had reported they had previously had a good experience with them. From the onset, I was very impressed by the communication and professionalism of all the staff members we encountered. The reception team were very responsive, reaching out as soon as the insurance company allocated our claim to them. The tradesmen came at the time arranged and were incredibly clean and tidy. They took great care in preparing the area and travel paths to minimise spreading dust and when there were some dusty footprints outside of the protected area they made sure to clean these up before leaving. The workmen were relatively quiet, efficient and thorough. We are very happy with the quality of the work and our bathroom now looks better than before the water damage! We would definitely use Acorn Services again for any future work.

I had ceiling and wall damage caused by a water leak from a flat above mine.
Acorn quickly assessed the damage, and quoted for the work to be done. It was carried out without delay, and to a very high standard. The room was left clean and tidy, within the time quoted and all rubbish removed.
I recommend them highly.

We had a horrendous flood in our family home, i was out of the country when nearly £50k of damage occurred in my property. After a tearful phone call (from me) Acorn leapt into action and were super helpful and organised everything from start to finish. Our entire home was damaged, Acorn stripped everything out, dried it and completed the remedial works to an exceptionally high standard. We are truly grateful to the team, their communication, ethics and work is unmatched.

Review Comments
I have used Acorn Services on three separate insurance claims, two of which involved extensive damage that made my property uninhabitable and required me to move out while the work was carried out.

On every occasion, Acorn Services managed the entire claims process from start to finish seamlessly. Their professionalism, communication, and attention to detail were outstanding throughout. They took the stress out of dealing with the insurance company, coordinated all aspects of the repairs, and kept me informed every step of the way.

The quality of the work was excellent, and they consistently delivered on their commitments. Having experienced major property damage twice, I know how overwhelming the process can be, but Acorn made it as straightforward and hassle-free as possible.

I would not hesitate to recommend Acorn Services to anyone needing support with an insurance claim or property restoration work.
