Frequently asked questions
Can old sash windows usually be repaired?
Often, yes. Many faults involve cords, beads, putty, paint build-up or localised timber decay. The right answer depends on the condition of the individual window.
Do listed buildings need special care?
Yes. Repairs should respect the original fabric and local planning requirements. Replacement can require consent, so a repair-first assessment is sensible.
How much will a repair cost?
Cost depends on access, window size, the number of affected windows and the extent of mechanical or timber work. See our Edinburgh sash window repair cost guide, then request an assessment for an accurate quote.
