Sash & Case Windows in Stockbridge

Stockbridge is one of Edinburgh's most characterful and desirable neighbourhoods, centred on the village-like cluster of independent shops along Raeburn Place and St Stephen Street. The area encompasses a remarkable range of period architecture: Georgian terraces on the edges of the New Town, Victorian artisan colonies along the Water of Leith, picturesque Dean Village with its converted mill buildings, and handsome Victorian tenements along Comely Bank Road and Hamilton Place. Sash and case windows are a unifying feature across all these diverse building types.

The Stockbridge Conservation Area and the adjacent Dean Conservation Area protect the architectural integrity of this neighbourhood, and window alterations are subject to close scrutiny. Dean Village in particular is one of Edinburgh's most photographed locations, where converted industrial buildings sit alongside 17th-century houses with some of the city's oldest window installations. Our work in Dean Village and Stockbridge ranges from routine draught-proofing of Victorian tenement sashes to painstaking restoration of Georgian fan-light assemblies and complex multi-pane window arrangements.

Stockbridge's community-minded character means we often work on coordinated projects where residents in the same stairwell or colony row commission window work together. The artisan colonies — compact terraced houses built for skilled workers in the 19th century — are especially suited to this approach, as their uniform design means standardised repairs and efficient scheduling. Our workshop at Rodney Street is literally in the Stockbridge/Canonmills area, making us the most local specialist for this neighbourhood.
