Sash window specialists for Glasgow’s period properties
If you’re dealing with draughty, hard-to-open sash windows in Glasgow, you’re not alone. Sitting on Scotland’s west coast, Glasgow gets some of the UK’s highest rainfall, so window and door seals here take a real beating over the years, and old single-glazed sashes are usually where that shows up first as draughts and heat loss. The city is defined by its blonde and red sandstone tenements, many now converted into flats with shared closes and communal stairwells, and a lot of those original sash boxes are now decades past their expected working life.

- The city is defined by its blonde and red sandstone tenements, many now converted into flats with shared closes and communal stairwells

Frequently asked questions
Can I fit double-glazed sash windows on a listed or conservation-area property in Glasgow? Often yes, but tenement flats in conservation areas like the West End and Dennistoun often have shared or listed elements that affect what individual owners can change, 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 Glasgow? 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.
