Sash Windows

We specialise in all sash & case window refurbishment and renovation work. Our skilled painters are experienced in interior and exterior sash & case paint work. In Edinburgh’s most historic buildings, the window sash, window framing, and the architectural detail surrounding them were all carefully designed to harmonize with the style, scale, and character of the building.

It is important, therefore, to retain the original window configuration, including the size of openings, sills, lintels, decorative wood or masonry mouldings, as well as the sashes themselves. Refurbishment, renovation and even replacing sashes and frames is often unnecessary, because in many cases existing historic windows can be repaired. If it is necessary to replace or alter any window elements, such changes must be made according to the Commission’s Window Rules.

I highly recommend Dean and his team, who did a fantastic job renovating my flat. This included repairing the windows, painting the garden railings, sanding and varnishing the floors, painting the kitchen units, and papering and painting every room (including moving the furniture around). Dean and his team maintain impeccable standards and are a pleasure to work with. They consistently arrive on time and are friendly and approachable. I would not use anyone else.

Dean and Sam did brilliant job in redecorating our external woodwork (windows doors and weatherboarding) and our metal garage door. Lots of preparation work and neat finishing. No problem in recommending them, they are not the cheapest and nor should they be.
