Local picture: In and around Gilmerton you’ll see Gilmerton Dykes, Old Village and Ferniehill. Each property type — from tenement flats to townhouses and infill developments — behaves differently. We document fabric and services so your rating reflects the real dwelling, not a generic template.
On the day: identify wall types (solid vs cavity), roof build‑ups including rooms‑in‑roof, check accessible insulation, record glazing/doors, heating systems and controls, and measure using taped and laser methods. No drilling — just evidence, photos and careful dimensions.
Quick wins in Gilmerton: LED lighting throughout, draught‑proofing external doors, topping up loft insulation to 270 mm, cylinder jackets on vented hot‑water tanks, and setting TRVs to match room use. These are low‑disruption steps that lift comfort and ratings.
Bigger steps when worthwhile: secondary glazing for listed tenements, improved double glazing where permissible, cavity insulation (where present), and modern condensing boilers or low‑carbon heat sources. We outline realistic EPC uplift so spend is targeted.
Documents that help: invoices/spec sheets for insulation or windows, boiler model plates, and completion certificates. Bring what you have; we’ll advise what’s useful ahead of time.
Scheduling: we plan routes via A7/A772 and can cluster visits across Liberton and Moredun. Managing several rentals? We coordinate keys and access to keep it simple.
For sellers & landlords: agents/solicitors like tidy, accurate certificates. Tenants appreciate plain‑English guidance on programmers and thermostats.
