TT performed a complete renovation of a period flat in the Grange. They were always super professional, performed work to excellent standards, and were very helpful in explaining our options whenever our old building revealed "surprises".
I would have no hesitation in using them again, and recommending them to others.

We had a wall removed between our kitchen and living room, new downstairs flooring put in, a shower installed over our bath and additional cupboards installed in our utility room. We had great communication about when everything was happening and everyone showed up when expected which was really helpful. TT accommodated us having to cancel a previous start date due to us having covid. They worked really efficiently and the quality of the work is really high. They also did their best to be respectful of keeping things tidy (a certain amount of noise and dust is to be expected!) and were generally friendly and easy to work with.

We have used TT for multiple jobs around the house from fitting bathrooms, windows and doors, building work, joinery, electrics and roofing. At all times their tradesmen have been reliable and very easy to deal with. Their quality of work is very good and when the next batch of house improvements need done it will be TT that we contact.

This was a loft extension to a top floor flat in a Victorian/Edwardian Edinburgh building. TT construction worked with our architect/project manager to deliver a really excellent result. As well as the extension they installed a new kitchen and bathroom in the existing flat, did a good redecorating job on the whole flat. They negotiated with others to install an iMist fire safety appliance. The flat was nearly completely rewired and re--plumbed. The work was completed a little after the scheduled time but Covid and sourcing materials were contributing issues. There are still a few outstanding minor issues to get full building reg. approval. I have no concerns about these, which I am sure will be sorted out soon. At all times communication with TT was excellent and they were very reliable at doing what they said they would.
There were extra expenses for the unanticipated, but these were reasonable and negotiable.
I have no hesitation in recommending this company to others for similar work.

Refurbishment of an existing small room to convert into a wine room. This required stripping back existing lath and plaster to the stonework, installation of insulation, vapour barrier and plasterboard as well as plaster and joinery work to enable installation of prefabricated wine racks.
Work was impacted by finding of wasps' nests but despite the interruption to the planned schedule, the work was completed with minimal delay. The quality of work by an experienced work force was very good and well coordinated.

I would like to renovate a house as previous owner has stayed for almost 40 years. The project includes structural change, new kitchen, new bathrooms, new boiler/heating/replumbing, decoration and back garden. (I appoint seperate electrician to rewire - will never do it again!)
I am glad to find TT Construction do help my project - my architect recommands them to me.
Gary, Denise and the whole team delivered high standard service from communication to every work including cleaning. Gary always says that he treats clients' property as his own - I believe it because Gary and his team did it.
The quote is down to detail, so never hidden costs. Gary explains everything if I have questions or there is any unexpected issues. He also provides options depending on budget level and let me know the pros & cons.
They charge for fair price and it's definately worth it.
As a whole, I am very satisfed and will definately seek their help if I need another renovation. (Plus, all my visiters like my new home!)

New shower room added to upstairs bedroom.
TT Construction managed entire project involving building work, drains, plumbing, roofing, electrical work and decoration.
They were excellent. The team were very professional, highly skilled, knowledgeable and worked hard, and everything was done to a very high standard and compliant with regulations. They went the extra mile to ensure that everything was done as I wanted it. They were very good about sorting the few issues that inevitably arose with a project of this size, and very responsive. They kept me very well informed. They kept the work area clean and tidy, and took great care to avoid damage to my property and garden.
I would not hesitate to use them again, and would recommend them to others.

Major roof repair, joinery and masonry work needed. TT's team is great, from being easy to deal with and doing what they say they will when they say they will, through the problem solving to the quality of work at the end. They've been our go-to builder for over a decade.

Two bathrooms refitted, a modest extension, kitchen moved and refitted, new doors, as well as major structural repairs resulting from old changes to the property.
The straightforward work - the bathrooms, extension and kitchen work, including necessary plumbing and electrical work - were all done to time, efficiently and to a very high standard. Where there were supply delays, e.g. for custom-made doors, we were kept informed. The workmen were all excellent and very considerate. We particularly appreciated having a temporary kitchen installed for our use whilst the work was done. Rubbish was removed and the house left clean and painted.
The structural repairs were unexpected and, to us, serious, However, The builder was reassuring and very competent in dealing with the problems, which required installing a major support beam in one room and strengthening the gable wall. The proprietor was very good at coming to discuss all the work with us.

TT first helped me with the complete refurbishment of my flat after the previous dodgy contractor I appointed caused significant damage. Since then, my home has been flooded twice and required fitting out again (I have the worst luck!). TT have bent over backwards to help me out and get things sorted as quickly as possible. I cannot recommend TT highly enough - they are professional, trustworthy, thorough and reliable. Everything is finished to an exceptionally high standard. They are not the cheapest but I firmly believe you get what you pay for. I will always use TT for any work I need done in future and will not waste my time with contractors who appear cheaper but do not do a good job, which ends up costing a lot more money in the long run.

We had an extension done to the house - and old conservatory removed and a modern larch clad light extension added.
TT Construction were excellent throughout the work. Their initial quote was not the cheapest but was the most convincing. They clearly knew what they were talking about and were very transparent on all material and labour costs. Gary Thomson, who led the work, was very experienced and knowledgeable. He was able to provide sensible advice and guidance throughout and was very responsive to questions and requests. He worked well with our architect. The builders on site were friendly, considerate and helpful, and were clearly very good at their work. With a large investment by us in the job it was very reassuring to have such a competent and experienced contractor. I am pleased to say that I can recommend TT Construction without reservation. We are delighted with the end result and I would not hesitate to use them again.

The work involved demolition of an existing utility room at the rear of our property, and building a new damp proof extended utility room. As there is no access via the back garden, all building materials had to be carried manually through our ground floor flat. The builders took great care not to damage floors and other surfaces which had been covered with protective sheets before the work started. All tradesmen involved in this project (builders, joiners, electricians, roofers etc.) turned up at times they were expected. We are very pleased with the new utility room which fully meets our expectations and which has been constructed to a very high standard. Via our chosen contract administrator (architect) we communicated with the contractor on a regular basis, and any issues that inevitably had arisen were dealt with quickly and satisfactory. This contractor had been recommended by the architect, and we have no regrets having followed his advice.

TT Construction undertook the rewiring and redecoration of my home, and the installation of a new kitchen, plus related joinery works, in Autumn 2018.
I was impressed by Gary's approach from the outset, as he ensured that he and his subcontractors visited the property together, so that everyone understood what was required. Gary's advice was good and he was always able to come up with practical solutions.
When issues arose, as is inevitable with an old and altered property, they were quickly resolved. All Gary's tradesmen and subcontractors were highly professional and responsive to my requests.
The only unsatisfactory aspect of the experience was the very poor customer service provided by Howdens' Prestonfield depot in the design and provision of my new kitchen. But even here I felt that TT Construction was on my side in securing the kitchen I wanted.
My overall impression of TT Construction is that we were working as a team to get the best result for my home within my budget.
