Sash & Case Windows in Granton

Granton occupies Edinburgh's northern waterfront, a district defined by its maritime and industrial past. The original village — centred around Granton Square and the streets leading down to the harbour — contains handsome Victorian stone terraces and villas built to house workers at the gasworks, harbour and fishing fleet. These properties feature traditional sash and case windows, many of substantial proportions with heavy counterweights to handle the tall, thick sashes that were favoured in exposed coastal locations.

The massive Granton Waterfront regeneration project is transforming the old gasworks and harbour areas into a new mixed-use neighbourhood, but the historic Victorian terraces along Granton Road, Boswall Parkway and Pilton Drive North are being retained and restored. We work with homeowners in these streets to bring their original sash windows back to peak condition, addressing the accelerated weathering caused by Granton's exposed position on the Firth of Forth. Salt spray, persistent wind and driving rain are the main enemies of timber windows here.

Our restoration approach for Granton properties emphasises durability. We use weather-resistant hardwood for timber splices, stainless steel screws and pins to prevent corrosion staining, and a three-coat microporous paint system that flexes with the timber through seasonal changes. For ground-floor windows facing the harbour, we recommend toughened or laminated glass for added security. Secondary glazing is also popular in Granton, providing both thermal insulation and protection against the noise of ongoing construction in the regeneration zone.

Frequently Asked Questions — Granton

Is Granton within your service area for sash window work?
Granton is one of our closest working areas — it's just ten minutes from our Rodney Street workshop in Canonmills. We visit Granton regularly and are very familiar with the window types and weathering challenges specific to the waterfront area.
How do Granton's coastal conditions affect sash windows?
The combination of salt air, persistent wind and driving rain off the Forth accelerates deterioration of timber, putty and paint. Windows facing north or north-east bear the worst of it. We use marine-rated finishes and stainless steel fixings to combat these conditions, and recommend more frequent maintenance cycles for seafront properties.
Can you work on windows during the Granton waterfront regeneration construction?
Absolutely. We coordinate with site management when access is affected by construction works and have experience working alongside major development projects. Interior work such as draught-proofing and cord replacement is unaffected by external construction activity.
What's the best way to reduce draughts in a Granton Victorian terrace?
A full draught-proofing package is the single most effective improvement. We seal the perimeter of each sash with brush and compression seals, replace worn beads, and ensure tight closure at the meeting rails. For Granton's exposed properties, this alone can transform the comfort of a room.
Do you provide sash window painting and decoration in Granton?
Yes — we offer a complete external redecoration service for sash windows, including preparation, priming, undercoating and two topcoats in your choice of colour. For Granton properties, we use microporous marine-grade paint systems that provide superior protection against the coastal climate.
