Double Glazing
in Macduff,
above the harbour wall.

We cover Macduff and the coast round it, and we will be straight with you rather than overpromising. This is a fair distance from our Ayrshire base, so we are not claiming a surveyor is in the town every week. Tell us what you are thinking about, we will arrange a visit to the house, and you will know exactly where you stand on dates before anything is agreed.

That depends on the number of openings, the styles, the frame finish and the glass behind them. A harbour terrace with four windows is a different job from a detached house up at Myrus. The survey costs nothing, the quote is clear and it leaves the decision with you. Various deposit options are available.

uPVC, in plain terms. There is no paint film for salt to lift and nothing in the frame to rot, so it does not deteriorate the way painted timber does on a street like Shore Street. If you want the look of wood, the timber-effect finish is a foil on uPVC and behaves exactly the same way.

Yes, and it is one of the main reasons people here get in touch. A sliding sash window in a modern frame keeps the vertical opening and the look of the house while doing away with the rattle, the draught round the box and the cold that comes with both. Astragal bars can be matched where the house has them.

They generally do. Water settles on the coldest surface in a room, which on an old window is the metal spacer at the edge of the unit. A warm-edge spacer with a Low-E coating and argon between the panes keeps that edge warmer, so much less water forms. Trickle vents, fitted where the regulations require them, let the damp air out instead of trapping it.

Not a problem, just work that needs care. Deep reveals and openings out of square are normal in a house of that age, so each window is built to its own measurements and the linings and sills are finished neatly afterwards. Tell us about the access on the street when you book and the surveyor will plan the fitting around it.

Sometimes, not always. Standard A-rated double glazing handles most rooms well. A third pane earns its place in a cold room on the seaward side or where you want extra quiet, and the surveyor will point out which of yours those are instead of pricing it across the whole house.

Every frame is made to the sizes taken at your survey, so there is a wait between the order and the fitting day, and how long that runs to depends on the styles chosen and when the delivery can be brought up. You will be told the position at the time rather than given a standard figure. Fitting the windows takes 1 to 3 working days in most houses.
