Gorgie and Dalry are among Edinburgh's densest tenement neighbourhoods — long streets of Victorian tenements along Gorgie Road, Dalry Road and Slateford Road, many split into flats or run as HMOs. It's one of the city's higher-density rental markets, close to Tynecastle Park, Fountainbridge and Haymarket.
Shared soil stacks and common close access are the norm here. A blockage reported by one flat can actually originate several floors down in the shared stack — we carry CCTV survey equipment specifically to identify exactly where a blockage sits before quoting, so tenants and landlords aren't paying to fix the wrong thing.
We work regularly with letting agents and landlords managing multiple Gorgie and Dalry flats, providing gas safety certificates and priority callout contracts. We also plan around match-day road closures near Tynecastle when scheduling appointments in the area.
Back-green drains. Most Gorgie and Dalry tenements drain through a shared chamber in the back green. When it blocks, the ground-floor flat usually floods first. We lift the chamber, jet the run to the public sewer and, if it keeps happening, record a CCTV survey you can share with the other owners or your factor.
Kitchen waste and washing-machine blockages. Long horizontal waste pipes in tenement kitchens are prone to grease build-up. We clear the blockage and re-fall or replace the waste pipe if it has sagged.
Lead and old iron supply pipes. Some older tenements still have lead or corroded iron pipework somewhere between the stopcock and the main. Poor pressure and discoloured water are common signs. We can check and quote to replace it.
