Glasgow is a county of sandstone tenements with generous room heights and original press cupboards. That is exactly the kind of building stock a sash window has to be drawn around, so we allow for it at survey stage rather than on fitting day — walls get checked for wind and plumb, floors for level, and the setting-out is taken from the worst reading, not the best.
How we approach it
Every sash window we make starts with a site survey and a set of setting-out drawings, not a catalogue page. We measure the opening in Glasgow, check the walls for wind and the floor for fall, then cut a carcass that fits the room you actually have.
How we build it
Hardware is specified to the weight it is carrying, not to a price point. Soft-close runners are rated for the drawer load, hinges are adjustable in three planes, and sliding gear is sized so a full-height door still moves with one finger a decade later.
Finish and materials
Finishing happens in the workshop wherever possible. Sprayed paint gives an even film that brushwork cannot match, and the only work left on site is the final touch-in around scribes and fixings.

Straight answers
Timber Sash Windows in Glasgow — common questions
Do I need planning permission or listed building consent?
In a conservation area, replacing windows usually needs permission and the replacement must match the original. In a listed building you will need listed building consent. We can supply drawings and a specification to support an application.
How draughty will they be?
A new sash with brush seals in the meeting rail, staff bead and parting bead is not draughty at all. The draught in an old sash comes from a worn rebate, not from the design.
Can you match the original glazing bars?
Yes. We match the bar width and profile from the original. With double glazing, a true divided bar with individual small units is the authentic route; a bonded bar with a spacer inside is far cheaper and reads correctly from the street.
Is it cheaper to repair the existing sashes?
Very often, yes — see our sash window restoration service. If the boxes are sound and only the sills and bottom rails have gone, repair is usually the better value and keeps the original glass.
How long does a bespoke job take from order to fitting?
Most fitted furniture runs four to eight weeks from approved drawings to fitting day. Kitchens, staircases and timber windows are longer at eight to fourteen weeks because the components are larger and the finishing schedule is longer. We give you a date band at quotation and confirm the fitting week once the drawings are signed off.
