Edinburgh Property Works is a small family run business and is the trading name of Russell & Telfer Ltd. My Father started R&T back in 1963.

Working on lots of different small projects for my wonderful private clients I enjoy attending to a variety of maintenance repairs. From Bathroom works, Furniture assembly and repair, Detailed Silicone replacement, Joinery works, Timber bed frame repairs and central spine strengthening, Luxury Vinyl Tile flooring, Bath panels, Shower screen replacement and repair assessment, Window repairs and Ironmongery replacement, Kitchen cabinet repairs, Draught proofing & Pipe boxing access panels to name but a few.

Okay, so Silicone replacement really needs more of a mention here. I get enquiries about Silicone repairs from leaking showers every week and we have all seen it before - silicone smeared around a bath or shower tray that looks like it was applied with an old paintbrush! Or your shower tray and screen is leaking due to defective silicone and its also black and mouldy - Yuk! I can help here and can do so much better - with good technique and careful, repeat careful, preparation. It's so not a "quick job" and the only way to achieve a good finish is to spend a lot of time removing the old silicone and silicone residue and preparing the joints, which is key, for application of new, high quality, bacteria resistant silicone sealant. In most situations it requires temporary removal of the existing shower screen to carryout the repair properly, according to all shower screen manufacturers installation instructions - no paintbrush needed - that's a promise!

Most hotels have their own maintenance staff and its always a pleasure to work alongside these guys and give support and a helping hand when their maintenance workload is maxed out. General maintenance repairs can sometimes back up and that’s where I come in. It might be a one off repair to a door lock, self closer, replacement ironmongery or its a broken shower tray that needs replaced (carefully without demolishing the place!). Working closely with a long established Edinburgh plumbing and heating family firm, replacing shower screens and bathroom vanity units and are registered installers of "Multipanel" for shower rooms, a wet wall decorative panel system manufactured by Edinburgh based Grant Westfield.

Edinburgh Property Works also carry out maintenance to city centre offices, in addition to very varied maintenance works for certain Edinburgh Museums and College property.

Working in quality rental property – where the finish needs to be “top notch”. Landlords who are looking for quality, have come to the right place and can rest assured that great care will be taken to enhance their investment. From design ideas through to completion of works, taking time to make sure it’s just right.

So, that's pretty much it! Wanting to help you achieve the perfect property solution. Easy to talk to and keen to do a really good job, professional, reliable and courteous, and truly enjoy my work.

As they say – “good things come to those who wait”! But please don’t wait too long, I'm looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Please send me an initial enquiry email with a full description of the works you are looking to have done, with your timeframe and property address in Edinburgh. Please also email some photos, this will help me determine if I can be of assistance to you.

Thanks
