Areas we cover
Sash window repair in Fife.
The medieval closes of St Andrews, the Georgian townhouses of Cupar, the miners' cottages of West Fife and the fishing villages of the East Neuk — Fife's built heritage is full of original sash joinery that deserves proper care, and we cover the Kingdom through our Edinburgh line.
What we do in Fife
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.
Fife has closely protected conservation areas — St Andrews in particular — and many of its buildings are listed or sit within one, where double glazing or a change to how a window looks needs permission first; like for like repair generally does not. We are experienced in working within these rules: we help with consent applications, drawings included, we are used to working with conservation officers, and we keep original cases in the wall wherever possible. We cover Dunfermline, Kirkcaldy, St Andrews, Cupar, Glenrothes, Anstruther and the East Neuk, as well as the smaller towns and villages throughout the Kingdom.
Our work in Fife
Two restorations in Burntisland
We restored the original sash and case windows on two Burntisland houses on the Fife coast: a grey stone villa with its two-storey bay, and a red sandstone house with dormers, both finished in a soft sage green.
In their words
“Living in a listed tenement property can be troublesome when it comes to repairs. I won't pretend they are cheap, but when you consider all they do, with frame restoration, bona fide pointing work followed by painting, and the quality of the work executed overall, I can confidently say they provide good value for money.”

Common questions
Sash windows in Fife: your questions
Do you work in the East Neuk and St Andrews?
Yes. Fife Council has 48 conservation areas, including Crail, Anstruther, Pittenweem, St Monans and Elie & Earlsferry in the East Neuk, as well as Falkland, Culross and St Andrews. Repairs that match the original window generally need no consent; listed buildings need listed building consent from Fife Council, and we help with the application. Our guide to listed buildings and conservation areas has the detail.
Can my windows in Fife be double glazed?
Often, yes. We keep the original case and make new slimline double glazed sashes for it, matched to the original sections and astragals. In a listed building this needs consent first. See our double glazing upgrade.
Will a repair stop the draughts?
A full restoration includes Aquamac draught proofing, new cords and rebalanced weights, and traditional pointing round the frame. See sash window repair and restoration.
