Silicone Render System to a large, fancy-shaped block 4-in-1 in West Granton Road, Edinburgh.
The big project involved a roof replacement done by our friends from STEADBROOK ROOFING LTD.
Edinhome did the render, basecourse, silicone paint to the window sills and door bands, plus black paint to all the cast iron pipework around.
FEEDBACK / REFERENCES: “Had EDINHOME out to render our whole building, they did a fantastic job. Jan kept us up to date every step of the way. Our building looks lovely and stands out, which we love. We would 100% recommend EDINHOME!”
