Sash window specialists for Aberdeen’s period properties
Sash window work in Aberdeen usually means balancing double glazing benefits against keeping the original look. Aberdeen is famous for its granite Victorian and Edwardian tenements, giving the city its “Granite City” nickname, and a lot of those original sash boxes are now decades past their expected working life. Exposed to the North Sea, Aberdeen has some of the harshest coastal weather of any UK city, with salt-laden wind a real factor in hardware wear, and old single-glazed sashes are usually where that shows up first as draughts and heat loss.

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit double-glazed sash windows on a listed or conservation-area property in Aberdeen? Often yes, but the West End and other granite-built conservation areas have particular expectations around window style and materials, so slimline double-glazed units that replicate the original glazing bars are usually the way through rather than a standard modern sash.
Is it better to repair or replace old sash windows? If the timber frame itself is sound, draught-proofing and mechanism repairs are usually cheaper and can be enough. Full sash replacement makes more sense once the frame has rotted or the sash cords have failed repeatedly.
How long does sash window replacement take in Aberdeen? A single sash window usually takes half a day including making good the surrounding plaster or woodwork, though full-house jobs on larger period properties take longer.
