SEPA registered and fully insured.
When flooding strikes your Edinburgh home or business, you need the damaged contents removed quickly before mould sets in and the damage spreads. Our team responds fast, clearing everything that's beyond saving and leaving the property ready for drying and restoration.
Edinburgh's weather and ageing infrastructure mean flooding is an ongoing risk — burst pipes, river flooding, blocked drains and heavy rainfall can devastate a property in hours. Once the water recedes, you're left with sodden carpets, waterlogged furniture, ruined appliances and the growing threat of mould.
The longer flood-damaged items stay in the property, the worse the secondary damage becomes. Mould can start growing within 24-48 hours, turning a bad situation into a health hazard. Getting damaged contents out quickly is critical to limiting the overall cost and timeline of recovery.

Edinburgh's recycling centres are Seafield, Sighthill at Bankhead and Craigmillar; they are car-focused and self-unload.
