We have a passion for preserving the beauty and functionality of these traditional windows, which are often found in homes over 100 years old. We understand the unique challenges of working with sash windows and have the expertise to handle everything from minor repairs to complete restorations. Our services include draught-proofing, sash cord replacement, mastic pointing, and the installation of new double-glazed sashes.

We are committed to providing high-quality workmanship and customer service, and we are proud to have been awarded by Scottish Enterprise for our restoration work.
The installation of double glazing sash and case windows in a conservation area of Glasgow, without changing the appearance of the property. These timber double glazed stained glass windows are beautiful and handmade. This combines the skills of traditional stained glass, with the benefit of double glazing, providing the security and energy efficiency of double glazed windows. Further, this retains the style and the visual impact of traditional sliding timber windows.
As dedicated experts specialising in sash and case windows we always look for ways to improve window energy efficiency of windows using custom weather strips to address the common symptoms of draughty, rattling windows, reducing the air permeability, as well as noise and dust incursion. The draught proofing system which we use it's non-rot draught proofing system specifically designed for timber frames.
Where replacement of existing case is not required we can manufacture and install complete new double-glazed sashes, along with complex renovation of case. Replaciglazing is more energy efficient with a lower environmental impact. Our technique retains Georgian or Victorian aesthetics whilst complying with building regulation. We can also install argon filled double glazing to increase the thermal efficiency of the windows or toughened glass to increase the security, as it is break resistant.
Our restoration service has been recognised and we have been awarded by the Scottish Enterprise for the last 3 years. You can find more Information about this on our blog.
Rain and sunshine can damage the outer sash window windowsill even when the rest of the window is in good condition. We can repair, replace or repaint sills for a quick and cost-effective solution.
When the mastic pointing is in bad condition it means higher costs due to heat loss. Application of new mastic pointing helps to improve the insulation (wind and water tight ).
