Conservation joinery in Glasgow
If you are looking at Listed Building Joinery in Glasgow, the timber is only half the decision. Given the sandstone tenements, Georgian New Town terraces and post-war housing schemes that dominates locally, standard sizes are the exception not the rule. cold wet winters with strong westerly exposure is the local complication, and sash and case failure in tenement stock and cill decay at stone junctions is what it eventually causes. The part that matters is replication accurate enough to satisfy a like-for-like condition.
The measuring is done by the people responsible for the fit, which concentrates the mind. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
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.”

Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
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.
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.
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.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
