Property in Aberdeen

Aberdeen is the Granite City: tenements, terraces and villas built from grey granite, alongside post-war estates and modern homes on the city's edges. Granite is tough, but roofs, chimneys and window surrounds on older buildings need regular care.

On the North Sea coast in the north-east of Scotland, Aberdeen has long, cold winters with frost, snow and fierce coastal storms. Frozen pipes, boiler failures and storm damage to roofs are among the most common winter calls.

Energy-sector workers, students and families all shape the Granite City's rental market, overseen by Aberdeen City Council, and landlords must meet Scotland's repairing standard. Quick, well-recorded repairs protect tenants through harsh winters.

How it works

75% of issues resolved by telephone triage without a contractor attending (NECOS reported).

  • The Call

    Water through the ceiling. Your tenant dials one number, and a trained call handler answers — nights, weekends and bank holidays included.

  • Triage

    We assess urgency and risk, then talk the caller through safe self-help steps. Many issues are made safe over the phone — no call-out required.

  • Dispatch

    If an engineer is needed, we match the job to a vetted local contractor with the right trade — fully briefed before they set off.

  • On Site

    The engineer arrives, assesses, explains the fix and makes the property safe — with quality materials, to a standard we stand behind.

  • Fixed & Reported

    Job closed. You receive a clear report: the work carried out, the costs, and any recommendations for future maintenance.
