Sash & Case Windows in Calton Hill

Calton Hill is part of Edinburgh, an area renowned for its traditional architecture and period properties. Many homes here retain original sash and case windows that contribute to the distinctive character of the streets and conservation areas. Our team works extensively across Calton Hill, restoring, repairing and replacing timber sash windows in residential properties of every era.

Common issues we see on sash and case windows in Calton Hill include broken sash cords, draughty meeting rails, deteriorated putty and rot at the base of cills and bottom rails. We repair using spliced-in seasoned timber, fit modern brush draught seals to eliminate cold spots, and finish with microporous paint systems that flex with the timber for long-term protection.

Where windows are beyond economical repair, we manufacture bespoke timber replacements at our Canonmills workshop, matching original profiles, astragal patterns and proportions. For homeowners in Calton Hill looking to improve thermal performance without changing the appearance of their property, we offer slim-profile double glazing and discreet secondary glazing options that meet conservation requirements.
