Services in Scotland

All Guardian Edge services are available across Scotland, delivered to the Scottish regulatory framework rather than the English one.

Local context

What property in Scotland actually looks like

Scotland has its own building and fire safety framework, and its residential alarm requirements are the strictest in the UK: since February 2022 every home in Scotland — owner-occupied as well as rented — must have interlinked smoke alarms in the living room and circulation spaces, a heat alarm in the kitchen, and a carbon monoxide alarm where there is a fuel-burning appliance.

Repairing standard duties for private landlords sit under the Housing (Scotland) Act 2006 rather than the Landlord and Tenant Act 1985, and electrical safety testing has been a five-yearly requirement in the Scottish private rented sector since 2015 — earlier than in England. Any portfolio spanning the border needs two compliance calendars, not one.

Common property types

  • Tenement and converted flat stock
  • City centre commercial and retail
  • Industrial and energy sector property
  • Rural and remote property

How we work here

Guardian Edge covers Scotland as a service area. We do not maintain an office here, and we would rather say so than imply a local branch that doesn’t exist — the work is delivered by directly managed engineers and vetted local specialists.

Emergency and reactive attendance is available 24 hours a day. Tell us the address and we will give you a realistic attendance window for that specific site rather than a national average.
