No drainage engineer listed in Balerno yet.

A drainage engineer diagnoses and fixes problems with drains, sewers and underground pipework - from blocked sinks and backed-up toilets to collapsed drains, root intrusion and CCTV surveys.

Drainage problems tend to be urgent. A local drainage engineer who can respond quickly, diagnose the issue with a camera survey and clear or repair the blockage saves you from escalating damage.

Ask whether they carry out CCTV drain surveys, whether jetting is included in the callout price and whether they can handle both domestic and commercial drainage work.

Balerno is the westernmost village in the City of Edinburgh, sitting at the foot of the Pentland Hills with a population of around 6,000.

The village has a strong sense of community, with a high school, primary school, local shops and an active community council.

Balerno is a gateway to the Pentland Hills Regional Park - Harlaw Reservoir, Threipmuir Reservoir and the Red Moss nature reserve are all within walking distance.

The Union Canal passes through the village and its towpath provides a flat, traffic-free route into Edinburgh and westward towards the Almond Aqueduct.

Despite being on the edge of the city, Balerno has a village character that sets it apart from Edinburgh's more urban suburbs.

Edinburgh is Scotland's capital city and one of the most recognisable cities in the world, built across a series of volcanic hills on the southern shore of the Firth of Forth.

The Old Town and New Town, together a UNESCO World Heritage Site, form the historic core - but the city stretches far beyond them, taking in dozens of distinct neighbourhoods, suburbs and villages absorbed over centuries of growth.

From the Georgian terraces of the New Town to the seaside promenade at Portobello, the leafy avenues of Morningside to the waterfront regeneration at Granton, each part of Edinburgh has its own character and community.

The city is a centre for finance, technology, higher education and the arts - the Edinburgh Festival Fringe is the largest arts festival in the world and the city's universities attract students and researchers from across the globe.

Edinburgh's transport network includes a tram line, an extensive bus system, two mainline railway stations and an international airport, connecting its neighbourhoods to each other and to the rest of Scotland and beyond.
