No scaffolder listed in Dean Village yet.

A scaffolder erects and dismantles temporary scaffolding to provide safe working platforms for other trades - roofers, painters, roughcasters and anyone else working at height.

You may not hire a scaffolder directly - your roofer or builder often arranges it - but understanding the costs helps when it appears as a line item in a quote. Scaffolding must be erected by a qualified team to meet health and safety regulations.

Confirm the hire period, weekly rental cost and whether the quote includes delivery, erection, dismantling and collection - overrun charges can add up quickly if a job takes longer than expected.

Dean Village is a picturesque former milling village in the gorge of the Water of Leith, hidden just below the western end of the New Town.

The village's stone buildings, some dating from the 17th century, cluster around the river and the old granary - now converted into flats.

The Water of Leith walkway passes through the village, connecting it to Stockbridge in one direction and the Scottish National Gallery of Modern Art in the other.

Dean Village is one of the most photographed spots in Edinburgh and despite its tiny size, it has a strong identity as one of the city's most characterful corners.

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.
