Sash & Casement Window Repair and Timber Window Restoration in Edinburgh

Edinburgh’s sash and case windows are unlike any others in Britain. Tall Georgian sashes in the New Town, smaller and irregular in the Old Town, with Victorian and Edwardian detailing layered around them both. For more than 40 years, Ventrolla has been restoring timber windows and replacing doors that define the city’s skyline – everyone handled by a local surveyor who knows Edinburgh’s architecture and conservation requirements inside out.

Great service Ventrolla

John and Paul from Lockerbie installed new sash and case windows today. They were highly professional, very pleasant and carried out an excellent job, leaving my house as clean as when they arrived. Thank you John and Paul, I’m really pleased with your result.

Old Georgian house in Edinburgh…

Had sash and case refurbished and replaced with double glazing in Edinburgh. Very impressed with the professionalism, high quality, hard work and thoughtfulness of Alan and Kevin.

Service and Installation

The installers were Richard and Paul who did a terrific job and are a really good team, nothing was too much trouble. As well as installing the ventrolla system in our kitchen windows they helped us with a couple of problems from a previous fitting in our bedroom. They are a credit to your business. We have a large Georgian apartment in central Edinburgh and have pretty much installed the Ventrolla system throughout.

Mr & Mrs Swain

Great windows, expertly installed

Great windows, very draft proof, and great appearance. It was easy to arrange a survey, and John and Paul fitted the windows very efficiently and expertly, and cleaned up afterwards. All in all a great experience from beginning to end.

John Dean

Excellent repair and replacement sash windows…

Repair and replacement sash windows carried out in North Berwick. Extremely professional at every level from initial contact to surveyors report to arrangement of convenient timing for work to be done. The work was done with minimal disruption and by two fantastically considerate and professional fitters. Very happy to recommend.

Malcolm Brown

Heritage window specialists for period properties in Edinburgh

The New Town is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and much of Edinburgh’s housing stock is listed within a conservation area or both. Every project needs a surveyor who understands the planning implications, the specific profile requirements, and the conservation-led approach the city expects.

Our Edinburgh team has decades of experience in sensitive work with local conservation officers. We can offer guidance to support you navigate listed building consent.

regional workshop

Inside our Lockerbie workshop

Our Lockerbie workshop has been manufacturing timber sash and case windows and doors for Scotland for more than 25 years. A small, experienced team – three bench joiners, a painter-glazier, a workshop assistant and a production manager – run machinery and processes aligned entirely to traditional Scottish joinery standards.

The workshop’s real strength is the people. Craftspeople who’ve spent their working lives understanding how Scottish sash and case windows are built, how they weather, and how to bring them back to the standard Edinburgh’s heritage demands.

About Edinburgh's architecture

Edinburgh’s sash and case windows are taller, more slender, and more precisely balanced than the sash windows of most English cities. The challenges of maintaining them are often driven by age and Scottish weather: perished cords, rattling sashes, failed putty, draughts, and timber decay.

We restore rather than replace wherever possible. The award-winning Ventrolla Perimeter Sealing System (VPSS™) delivers effective draught-proofing, up to 30% energy efficiency and noise reduction, without altering appearance; our bespoke joinery replicates original sash and case profiles to the millimetre.

Do you specialise in sash window restoration in Edinburgh?

Yes. We specialise in the sensitive restoration of traditional timber sash windows throughout Edinburgh. Our approach focuses on preserving original craftsmanship and architectural detail while improving comfort, operation and overall performance.

Do you restore original timber windows or replace them?

Restoration is always our preferred starting point. Where windows or individual components are beyond repair, we provide carefully considered replacement solutions that replicate original mouldings, proportions and sightlines to maintain the character of the property.

Can you repair timber sash windows in Edinburgh conservation areas?

Yes. Edinburgh contains many historic and conservation properties, and we regularly work on period homes throughout the city. All work is carried out with careful consideration for the building’s heritage, ensuring restored or replacement windows remain appropriate to the original architecture.
