Top Banana lists trusted tradespeople across all 32 regions of Scotland.
Top Banana put me in front of local clients I didn't know were looking - simple, no fuss, and it just works. I wasn't sure a local directory would work for voiceover, but the enquiries speak for themselves. Worth every penny.
Most of my clients are in Haddington so being listed there made perfect sense. Neep made it easy to get set up and I was live within a day.
About Welders
A welder joins and repairs metal using techniques like MIG, TIG and stick welding - from fixing a broken gate or trailer to fabricating brackets, mending vehicle bodywork and tackling structural steel work.
A reliable local welder is invaluable for jobs that come up unexpectedly, from a snapped tow bar to a corroded handrail.
Check they're insured for the type of work involved and ask whether they're certified to relevant standards (e.g. CSWIP for structural welding).

About Deerness
Deerness is a peninsula forming the easternmost part of the Orkney Mainland, connected to the rest of the island by a narrow strip of land at Dingieshowe.
The Brough of Deerness, a dramatic sea stack accessible by a rough path, holds the remains of a Norse chapel and settlement - one of the most atmospheric archaeological sites in Orkney.
The coastline here is wild and exposed, with high cliffs, caves and geos carved by the North Sea and the area is rich in birdlife during the breeding season.
Deerness is sparsely populated but has its own community hall and residents rely on Kirkwall for most services, a drive of around 15 minutes to the west.
About Orkney
(opens in new tab)Orkney is an archipelago of around 70 islands off the north coast of mainland Scotland, separated from Caithness by the Pentland Firth - one of the most powerful tidal races in Europe.
Of those 70 islands, roughly 20 are inhabited and most of the population of around 22,000 lives on the largest island, known simply as the Mainland, where the towns of Kirkwall and Stromness serve as the administrative and cultural centres.
Orkney's history stretches back over 5,000 years. The Heart of Neolithic Orkney - a UNESCO World Heritage Site comprising Skara Brae, Maeshowe, the Ring of Brodgar and the Stones of Stenness - represents some of the best-preserved prehistoric sites anywhere in northern Europe. The islands were under Norse rule for around 600 years and that Scandinavian heritage remains visible in place names, dialect and culture.
The islands are reached by ferry from Scrabster and Aberdeen and by air from Edinburgh, Glasgow, Aberdeen and Inverness. Orkney's economy is built on agriculture, fishing, renewable energy, whisky and tourism and the islands have a quality of life consistently rated among the highest in Scotland.
Orkney is at the forefront of marine renewable energy, home to the European Marine Energy Centre which tests tidal and wave power devices in the waters around the islands. The strong community life, low crime and dramatic landscape make Orkney one of the most distinctive and self-reliant places in Scotland.
