Silicone Render System – Alln Park, Edinburgh

Silicone-based Render System to mid-terraced house in Allan Park Crescent, Edinburgh.
This project is the third in a row of properties on this street. Two neighbouring flats have been done by us 3 years ago (and they are still looking as brand new!)

FEEDBACK / REFERENCES:The house was looking very old and tired with its 1950s pebbledash which had become quite stained over the years. Today it looks lovely! Edinhome did a very troublefree and good job and I can’t fault them. Pleasant people, no fuss and the reasonable bill was exactly the same as their estimate. No problems and highly recommended.
