About
Laidlaw

My name is Bryan Laidlaw. I am a self employed, time served, commercial Heating Engineer (Pipe Fitter and Former Pipe Welder) who works in and around Edinburgh. I have over 40 years building services experience gained from my time working in the construction industry and have extensive knowledge concerning all types of commercial heating and chilled water systems.

What I Fit

I fit all types of heating and chilled water installations and work on mainly large to medium sized contracts. I work with screwed steel, copper, stainless and plastic pipe.

How I Work

I am well organized, efficient at what I do and have a very methodical way of working. With a good eye for detail, I'm the type of person who likes to get the job done.

Working Standards

I am punctual, hard working and I consistently produce work of a high standard. I like to see progress at the end of the day and I always try to leave a job that nobody has to go back too.
