It’s heartbreaking to see the aftermath of the devastating fire on Princes Street.

Just a few weeks ago, the team at Edinburgh Property Maintenance Ltd had the privilege of carrying out roofing work on this historic building. Seeing it now serves as a reminder of how quickly unexpected events can change everything.

Our thoughts are with everyone affected, including the businesses, residents, emergency services, and all those now involved in the long process of recovery and restoration.

Edinburgh’s historic buildings are part of the city’s identity, and we hope to see this iconic property restored in the future.

🌳 Tree roots vs. cast iron downpipe – the roots lost! 💪

What looked like a simple blocked downpipe turned out to be a much bigger issue. Tree roots had found their way into an old cast iron rainwater pipe, growing through damaged joints and completely blocking the system.

Our team carefully removed the roots, cleared the obstruction, and prepared the damaged sections for repair, restoring the free flow of rainwater and preventing further water damage to the property.

Older cast iron drainage systems are particularly vulnerable to root ingress, especially where cracks or failed joints have developed over time. Catching the problem early can save you from expensive repairs down the line.

If you’ve noticed overflowing gutters, blocked downpipes, damp patches, or recurring drainage issues, it could be more than just leaves causing the problem.

Another slate roof brought back to life in Edinburgh. 🏠🔨

Our team recently carried out a full replacement on this traditional Scottish slate roof. Over time a number of slates had slipped and deteriorated, which can quickly lead to water ingress if left untreated.

Work completed on this property included:
• Careful removal of damaged and loose slates
• Replacement with new slates
• Installation of soakers to abutments and new lead hidden watergate #
• New cement skews installed for long-term weather protection
• Chimney repointed using lime mortar to allow the stonework to breathe and remain structurally sound

The finished result keeps the roof watertight while preserving the character of the building. Proper slate repairs and traditional lime pointing are essential on older Edinburgh properties to ensure longevity and avoid bigger problems down the line.

If your roof has slipped slates, damaged skews or deteriorating chimney pointing, feel free to get in touch for a professional inspection and advice.

🎄 Is Your Chimney on the Naughty List This Year? 🎄

Take a look at this chimney we were recently called out to inspect — the render was crumbling, brickwork exposed, and the whole stack had become unsafe. Not exactly the kind of surprise you want sliding down your roof just before Christmas! 🎅🧱

With winter storms rolling in across Edinburgh, damaged chimneys like this can pose a real risk to your home and your family. We safely removed this unstable stack and made the area secure before it caused any “festive” chaos.

✨ If your chimney is looking worse for wear, now’s the perfect time to get it checked.
Let’s make sure the only thing coming down your chimney this Christmas is Santa — not loose masonry.

📞 Get in touch today for a free roof & chimney inspection. Stay safe, stay cosy, and have a crack-free Christmas! 🎁🏠 # #
