City of Edinburgh Council
RP Slight & Sons has been appointed to City of Edinburgh Council’s housing repairs and maintenance framework, creating a new workstream for our Wallyford-based construction and property maintenance business.
All-trades repairs and maintenance
Our appointment covers the different trades required for the council’s social housing repairs and maintenance. The framework provides an agreed route for the council to appoint contractors for the services it covers.
For RP Slight, this is a completely new workstream with City of Edinburgh Council, extending our council work into housing maintenance close to our base in Wallyford.
Preparing empty homes for reoccupation
The scope also includes void property returns. A “void” is a home that is empty between occupancies. Returning it to use involves carrying out the repairs and maintenance needed to prepare it for someone to move in again.
We welcome the opportunity to work with City of Edinburgh Council, both in looking after its social housing and getting empty homes ready for their next occupants.
