Conservation joinery in Edinburgh
The hard part of Sash Window Replication in Edinburgh is not the making, it is the measuring. You are mostly dealing with sandstone tenements, Georgian New Town terraces and post-war housing schemes around here, so openings vary more than people expect. Locally you are contending with cold wet winters with strong westerly exposure, so sash and case failure in tenement stock and cill decay at stone junctions is the fault we are called out to. The detail we will not compromise on is copying the surviving original rather than approximating it.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
One thing that catches people out here: 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 take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
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.
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.
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 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.
