What we see in Scotland Central Belt
The hard part of Listed Building Joinery in Scotland Central Belt is not the making, it is the measuring. Local stock is dominated by sandstone tenements, Georgian New Town terraces and post-war housing schemes, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Add cold wet winters with strong westerly exposure to that and sash and case failure in tenement stock and cill decay at stone junctions becomes the usual trigger for replacement. This is really a job about replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
We would rather spend an hour surveying than a week correcting. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
One local point to factor in: Scottish sash and case construction differs from English box sash and needs matching.

“The conservation officer approved the sections first time, which had not happened with the previous applicant.”
Verified client, Scotland Central Belt“They spliced the original cill rather than replacing it, which was exactly what we wanted.”
Verified client, Scotland Central Belt“The putty lines look right, and from the street you cannot tell which windows are new.”

Do you cover Scotland Central Belt?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland Central Belt including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk and the surrounding villages. Scottish sash and case construction differs from English box sash and needs matching. Because cold wet winters with strong westerly exposure, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
