Welcome to Fairmile Roofing (Edinburgh) Ltd

Kingsknowe

This property in Kingsknowe was looking tired with the original render failing and previous patch work spoiling the looks of this character bungalow. We completely removed all the render to expose the brickwork. A 2 coat K-Rend render system was applied with an off-white background and durite harling chip complimenting the facing brick details. The pipes and gutters were freshly painted to finish off this amazing transformation.
