About Builders
A builder carries out general construction work - extensions, conversions, structural alterations, and new builds, coordinating the various trades needed to complete a project.
For anything beyond a simple repair, a competent local builder who can manage a job from start to finish saves time, money, and stress.

About Tollcross
Tollcross is an inner-city neighbourhood at the junction of several main roads west of the Old Town, centred on a busy crossroads that gives the area its name.
The King's Theatre, Cameo cinema, and Usher Hall are all nearby, making Tollcross part of Edinburgh's informal theatre and arts district.
The area has a diverse population, a good range of restaurants and takeaways, and dense tenement housing that is popular with students and young professionals.
Tollcross sits between the Meadows and Fountainbridge, with the Union Canal towpath providing a green route westward through the city.
About Edinburgh
(opens in new tab)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.
