Builders in Edinburgh

Phone numbers for builders covering Edinburgh — extensions, loft conversions and refurbishment. Open a profile and call the business yourself. This site does not send your job.

Extensions and loft work need more than a day rate. The renovation budget tool can sit beside a local quote. Musselburgh and Dalkeith on a card are not the Old Town. Ask whether they will work inside the World Heritage boundary or only outside it. Profiles show a name, the area they cover and a phone number. Public qualifications such as Gas Safe or NICEIC appear only when they are on the profile. Read the cost notes for a sourced national range; a figure on a card is not a quote.

Typical building & conversions costs

Checkatrade’s house-extension guide, per-square-metre table last updated March 2025, is a national sense-check for shell versus finished work. It is not a local tariff. Opening a wall in the New Town can need both warrant and listed consent. A price that is only labour has not paid for either drawing.

A local rule to check in Edinburgh

Many extensions, loft conversions and structural openings need building control, and some need planning. A listing is not an approval and not a party-wall agreement.

Questions before you phone

How do I find builders in Edinburgh on this list?

The New Town is ashlar, sash windows and a mutual stair under a listing. Colony houses in Leith are a different plan: external stairs and a main door that is not a tenement close. Names, service areas and phone numbers sit on the cards. Open a profile and call the firm yourself. Musselburgh and Dalkeith on a card are not the Old Town. Ask whether they will work inside the World Heritage boundary or only outside it.

Does this page send my job to an Edinburgh building & conversions firm?

No. You place the call. This site does not email or text anyone on your behalf.

What should the written price say for building & conversions in Edinburgh?

Warrant drawings and listed drawings are not the same PDF. Ask which one the figure contains.

What is easy to miss before booking in Edinburgh?

Listed-building consent is a separate permission from a building warrant. A firm can hold one conversation and still be missing the other.
