Overview
Edinburgh is a World Heritage city built largely of sandstone, and sandstone restoration needs the structure to stay genuinely dry for months. That is the strongest possible argument for welded film over sheeting.
Leith and Granton add a marine and port element on the Forth.
Local focus
Scaffolding leads, and specifically heritage. Old Town and New Town restoration means listed buildings, long programmes, conservation officers who care how the scaffold reads from the street, and stonework that cannot be repaired wet. A tight white envelope solves all of those at once. Leith and Granton bring winter boat covers and port-side industrial containment on the Forth.

Getting to you
Batched with our Scottish runs alongside Glasgow and Aberdeen. Larger jobs mobilised directly.
We cover EH1 to EH17 and the surrounding area from our Isle of Wight base, working across the Old Town, the New Town, the Port of Leith, Granton Harbour and Newhaven. Travel is set out separately on every quote, so you can see exactly what the trip costs rather than finding it buried in a rate.
Before we quote
Every Edinburgh job starts with a survey — on site, or from your photos if that is quicker. We measure it, work out the frame, the film area, the seams and the fixings, and the number you get back is the number you pay.

Illustrative figures. Your Edinburgh survey is carried out on site — or from photos, if you'd rather start there.
Pricing
Priced on the square metres of film that end up on the frame, which follows the profile rather than the footprint.
The frame is often more of the job than the film. Complex shapes and awkward access both add crew time.
Flame-retardant and heavier gauges cost more per square metre. We specify for the job rather than defaulting.
Set out as its own line so you can see it. Where we can batch Edinburgh work into an existing run, it comes down.
We do not publish a Edinburgh rate, because a rate quoted before anyone has seen the job is a guess that gets corrected on your invoice. What you get instead is a fixed price after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. Most Edinburgh enquiries are answered the same working day, and photographs are usually enough to get a realistic figure moving.
Start from your phone
Not every Edinburgh job needs a site visit to get moving. Send a couple of photos and rough dimensions and one of our installers will tell you what is involved — including when shrink wrap is not the right call.
Whole item in frame, plus one close-up of the access side.
WhatsApp or email, with the Edinburgh postcode and the date you need it by.
Approach, timescale and a price — usually the same working day.
Common questions
Yes. Edinburgh is part of our regular coverage and scaffold wrapping is the work we do most of there. Batched with our Scottish runs alongside Glasgow and Aberdeen. Larger jobs mobilised directly.
There is no Edinburgh rate, because the price follows the job rather than the postcode. Size, framing, film grade and access drive it, and travel is set out separately so you can see exactly what you are paying. Send photos and rough dimensions and we will give you a realistic figure the same working day.
Yes, and it is much of what we do there. Sandstone and lime work cannot be repaired wet, so a sealed envelope that keeps the elevation genuinely dry for months is worth considerably more than a sheet that keeps most of the rain off.
Yes. Every quote is fixed after survey, with removal and disposal included from the start. We do not use provisional sums and we do not add a "subject to access" line.
All five sectors — marine, scaffolding and temporary roofs, industrial, transportation and aviation. Scaffold shrink wrap is what we are asked for most in Edinburgh, but the same crews cover the rest.
Yes. We are fully insured and risk assessments and method statements are supplied as standard on every commercial job, along with film certification at handover.
