Double Glazing
in Edinburgh,
surveyed at your home.

We do, and we do not. Edinburgh is a regular run for our surveyors and fitting teams, and the survey is free wherever you live in the city, be it Leith, Portobello, Newington, Morningside, Corstorphine or Currie. There is no call-out fee, the quote costs nothing, and going ahead is your decision alone.

The number of windows, the style, the frame finish and the glass all move the figure. Four sash windows in a Gorgie tenement flat is a different job from a full re-glaze on a Barnton villa with two bays. uPVC is the best value and timber-effect costs more. Once the survey is done you receive a clear quote, with no obligation to go ahead. Various deposit options are available.

You will need to ask the council first. The Old Town and New Town are a World Heritage Site and most of the buildings are listed. City of Edinburgh Council usually expects timber sash and case windows on a listed building, so uPVC is unlikely to be approved on a listed frontage. Speak to the council's planning team before you order anything. We will tell you honestly at the survey if our windows are not the right answer for your building.

A large part of Edinburgh sits inside a conservation area, and the rules there are tighter than elsewhere. The council may want to approve the material and the glazing pattern, especially on the side that faces the street, so check before you commit. Our sliding sash and flush casement styles are made for character homes, and we can supply the product details a planning application asks for.

Yes, where the building is not listed. A sliding sash window keeps the look of the original, with A-rated glass and none of the rattling on a windy night. In most tenements the windows of a flat belong to that flat's owner, though it is sensible to read your title deeds or speak to your factor first. For top-floor flats, tilt and turn windows open inwards, so both faces of the glass can be cleaned from inside the room.

Each window is built to your measurements, so allow around 5 to 7 weeks after you sign off the order. Fitting is the short part. Most Edinburgh homes take 1 to 3 working days, and the house is made wind and watertight before the fitters leave each evening.

Yes. New sealed units are a good deal quieter than old glazing with worn seals. For flats on Leith Walk or Queensferry Road, homes beside the tram line or the City Bypass, or houses out near the airport, acoustic glass is worth a look. Its thicker, laminated panes cut down the noise that gets through.

For most homes, modern double glazing does the job. A Low-E coating, an argon fill and a warm-edge spacer all come as standard. A third pane makes sense in a cold, exposed room, say one that looks north over the Forth, or where you want more noise reduction. The surveyor will say plainly where the extra spend pays off.

Yes. We offer Buy Now Pay 12 Months Later, flexible credit up to 24 months, and longer-term flexible credit up to 10 years. The initial eligibility check is a soft search with no impact on your credit score, and gives an instant decision. Ultimate Home Solutions is authorised by the FCA as a credit broker (not a lender).

Every one from EH1 to EH17. That means the Old Town and New Town, Stockbridge, Trinity, Leith, Portobello, Duddingston, Newington, Marchmont, Bruntsfield, Morningside, the Grange, Gorgie, Dalry, Murrayfield, Corstorphine, Blackhall, Cramond, Colinton, Currie, Balerno, Liberton and Gilmerton. Musselburgh, Dalkeith and South Queensferry are on our rounds as well. No travel charge on any of them.

You get both. A compliance certificate for building regulations comes with every installation, which is the paper a solicitor will ask for if you sell, and trickle vents go in where the regulations call for them. All workmanship is guaranteed, covering the fitting of the frames, the sealed units, the handles, hinges and seals.
