Sash & case window repair in Edinburgh.
From Georgian glazing bars in the New Town to Victorian bays in Marchmont and Morningside, Edinburgh's windows are protected for good reason — and one call to our Edinburgh line brings a surveyor to any of them.
What we do in Edinburgh
Restore, upgrade or renew
Every job starts with a free, window by window survey and a written, itemised quotation — and an honest recommendation for the right route.
Restoration & repair
Rot spliced out, cords and weights renewed, Aquamac draught proofing, traditional pointing and full redecoration — your original windows, brought back, with a 5 year guarantee.
Double glazing upgrade
Your original case stays in the wall; we make new slimline double glazed sashes to match the existing sight lines. Warmer and quieter, with nothing changed to the eye.
Complete new sash windows
Made to order in our Glasgow workshop — hardwood, softwood or Accoya, single or double glazed, and backed by a 10 year guarantee.
Listed buildings & conservation areas
We have worked hand in hand with conservation and listed building authorities for more than thirty years, and help with consent and planning applications, drawings included.
Working in a World Heritage city means working with its rules. We have restored and remade windows across Edinburgh under the eye of its conservation and listed building authorities for decades — including Edinburgh City Chambers on the Royal Mile and Merchiston Castle School — and we help with consent and planning applications, drawings included.

Restorations across the city
A few of our Edinburgh restorations: original sash and case windows repaired, rebalanced and redecorated, from a tenement bay to small-paned sashes.
In their words
“The Listed Window team has done an excellent job refurbishing eight of our windows. Their joinery, pointing and painting teams were professional, courteous and very helpful, explaining everything. The result is lovely to look at, easy to use and maintain, and very well draught protected.”

Common questions
Sash windows in Edinburgh: your questions
Can you work on windows in the Old and New Towns World Heritage Site?
Yes. The Old and New Towns of Edinburgh have been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1995, and much of the city also sits in conservation areas such as the New Town, Marchmont Meadows & Bruntsfield, Morningside, Merchiston Greenhill and Leith. Like for like repair generally needs no permission. Inside the World Heritage Site, window changes still need planning permission, and listed buildings need listed building consent from the City of Edinburgh Council. Our guide to listed buildings and conservation areas explains both.
How thin are the double glazed units Edinburgh allows?
The council's guidance describes narrow profile units 14 mm thick (two 4 mm panes with a 6 mm gap), and asks for cross-section drawings of the existing and proposed windows. We provide the drawings. See double glazed sash windows in Edinburgh.
Have you worked on Edinburgh buildings before?
Yes. Our Edinburgh work includes Edinburgh City Chambers on the Royal Mile and Merchiston Castle School, alongside tenement flats and town houses across the city.
