Tenement restoration contractors in Edinburgh
Stone, roof, chimney and external-envelope programmes planned around Edinburgh tenements and their residents.
Coordinated restoration for shared residential buildings
Edinburgh tenements combine shared ownership, occupied homes and interdependent roof, chimney, stone and rainwater details. A defect affecting one part of the building can cause damage elsewhere, while access and decision-making must account for residents, factors and professional advisers.
Restorex delivers scaffolded façade and roof programmes including masonry dismantling and rebuilding, stone repair, pointing, slating, leadwork and chimney work. Opening-up can reveal conditions that were not visible during the initial survey; our approach is to report those findings clearly and work with the project team on a proportionate, buildable response.
Programmes are phased around shared entrances, resident access and the safe operation of the property. Regular coordination helps occupants understand what is happening and allows trades to progress in the correct sequence. Recent Restorex work includes major masonry rebuilding at Newington Road and a three-phase roofing programme across 28 occupied homes at Rothesay Terrace.
