Our Story

## Who we help, and what we are for

Arthur &amp; Simpson Ltd is a Shetland cleaning and property maintenance company working from an office at 68 Commercial Street in Lerwick. The business grew out of 17 years in estate agency and property management: years spent walking through other people's houses, valuing them, letting them, and watching what a wet, salt-laden climate does to a building that nobody keeps on top of.

That background decided what the business does. We help homeowners who want their property to look cared for and stop deteriorating; landlords and letting agents who need a roof, gutter or exterior problem dealt with between tenancies without a three-week chase; and commercial owners whose frontage is the first thing a customer sees. The common thread is the same: buildings in Shetland lose condition faster than buildings almost anywhere else in the UK, and most of that loss is preventable with work done at the right time by people who know the covering they are standing on.

We specialise in the exterior fabric of a property. Roof cleaning and roof coating, gutter clearing, softwashing of render and cladding, and driveway and patio cleaning make up the cleaning side. Joinery, insulation, roofing and woodworm treatment make up the maintenance side, carried out by our own team rather than subcontracted to whoever is free. That matters when a roof clean turns up a repair: the same business can price and do the repair, so the access already paid for is not wasted.

We work across Shetland: Lerwick, Scalloway, Brae, Sandwick, Whalsay, Bressay and the places between them. Being based in Shetland rather than flying in from the mainland is the whole difference: we know what horizontal rain does to a north-facing gable, we know which properties are exposed, and we are here again next year when the growth comes back.

Mission &amp; Standards

## What we hold ourselves to
Our aim is simple: the property is in measurably better condition when we leave than when we arrived, and nothing was damaged getting there.

### The method suits the building, not the diary
Render, cladding and painted surfaces are softwashed at low pressure. Slate and tiles are treated according to the covering. We would rather take longer on a roof than hand you a cleaner building with damaged material underneath.

### You get told what we actually found
If we are on a roof for moss and we see a slipped slate, a split downpipe or rot in a fascia, you hear about it while the access is already there: with a price, not a scare story.

### One team, cleaning and maintenance
The same business that cleans the roof can repair it, fit the insulation, do the joinery and treat woodworm. You are not managing three trades and three timelines for one property.

### Plain pricing before work starts
We look at the property, work out what it needs, and give you a figure for that work. The estimate is free and carries no obligation.

On guarantees specifically: we have not published a written guarantee or warranty period here, because none has been supplied for publication and we will not invent one. Ask us when you get your estimate and you will get a straight answer for your job.

Proof

## What we can prove, and what we will not claim
