I think there are a few in Edinburgh but Uncle Google will help.

Can't help with a place to live but I do fit Kitchens and bathrooms. </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=670#post-5751 Fri, 16 Apr 2010 19:47:57 +0000 Kirst 5751@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>I know this isn't cycling related, but I'm begging your indulgence. </p> <p>My bathroom is rotting away thanks to a huge leak from the flat upstairs. The whole bathroom has to come out, be dried out, rebuilt and put back together. It's been going on for months, because my insurance company are a nightmare. </p> <p>Anyway, we're nearly agreeing on a settlement and I need to start getting somewhere else to live. My current flat is in the southside and I wouldn't like to be too far away, as here is convenient, but at this stage I'm begging and therefore can't choose. </p> <p>Trouble is, I don't know how long I need to move out for. Until my bathroom is out, we don't know how much needs to be done or how long it will take. It might be as little as 3 weeks, it might be 2 or 3 months. So ideally I'm looking to take somewhere for 3 weeks then renew week by week if required. Doesn't have to be fancy, or even nice, just has to have no hole in the ceiling and a floor you can walk on without falling through. I'm hoping that my contractors will be able to start within the next couple of weeks, but that's negotiable and will depend on me having somewhere to go. </p> <p>I can provide references and a deposit but owing to difficulties reaching a settlement with the scummy insurance company, can't pay an awful lot - £500pcm would be about the max. I'm a cooncil worker, have my own flat to return to, am reliable, honest, a cyclist and anth can vouch for my integrity as a human being. And he's a lawyer!</p> <p>Can you help? If you can, or you know someone who can, please let me know, either here or via kirsten underscore ot at hotmail dot com. Thank you. </p>
