Tollcross sits within Edinburgh city centre and many properties have conservation area or listed building considerations. Our experience with city centre planning ensures we deliver outstanding results within Edinburgh's strict heritage guidelines. Our team brings deep local knowledge of Tollcross properties, Edinburgh planning requirements, and the specialist skills needed to extend homes in this area to the very highest standard.
“Luxor installed a stunning luxury bathroom in our Tollcross flat. The large format tiles, freestanding bath and rainfall shower are absolutely beautiful. The team were professional, clean and finished to an immaculate standard. We are absolutely delighted.”
“Luxor transformed our Tollcross flat by creating an open plan kitchen diner through a structural wall removal. The steel installation, new kitchen and flooring are all excellent quality. The project was managed brilliantly from start to finish.”
“Our Tollcross flat renovation by Luxor is simply stunning. Every room has been transformed with high quality materials and exceptional workmanship. Wayne kept us informed throughout and the team were respectful of our home at all times. Highly recommended.”

Many extensions in Tollcross fall under permitted development rights and don't need full planning permission. However, you'll always need a building warrant from Edinburgh Council. Conservation areas or listed buildings require planning consent — we assess this and handle all applications on your behalf.
Planning and building warrant approval takes 8–12 weeks. Construction of a single storey extension typically takes 8–12 weeks, two storey extensions 12–16 weeks. We provide a detailed programme during the design stage.
Absolutely. Matching Edinburgh's distinctive stone is something we specialise in. We source matching stone, brick, roof tiles and windows to ensure your extension integrates seamlessly with your existing Tollcross property.
Yes — the vast majority of our Tollcross clients stay in their homes throughout construction. We create weatherproof barriers, maintain site access, and minimise disruption at every stage.
