Double Glazing
in Thurso,
facing the Pentland Firth.

We cover Thurso and Caithness, and we would rather be straight with you about it. This is a long way from our Ayrshire base, so we will not pretend a surveyor is passing your door every week. Tell us what you are looking at, we will arrange a visit to the house, and you will be told exactly where things stand on dates before you commit to anything.

It comes down to how many windows there are, the style of each one, the frame finish and the glass behind it. Four openings in a small terrace is a different proposition from a full house of sashes and bays. The survey costs nothing, the quote is clear and it carries no obligation. Various deposit options are available.

uPVC copes with this climate better than anything that has to be painted, because salt and driving rain cannot rot it or lift a coat of paint off it. If you want the look of painted timber, our timber-effect frames are foiled uPVC and keep that appearance with no upkeep. Every frame is packed, sealed and weather-checked as it goes in.

They usually make a real difference. Condensation forms where warm damp air meets cold glass, and an old unit with a metal spacer bar round the edge gives it the coldest surface in the room. A modern sealed unit with a warm-edge spacer runs warmer at the edges, so far less water settles. Trickle vents are fitted where the regulations call for them, which lets the moisture you make every day escape rather than sit on the glass.

Yes. Sliding sash windows are made for older properties and keep the proportions and the vertical opening you already have, without the rattle and the draught round the boxes. Astragal or Georgian bars can be included where the house had them. If your home is listed or sits in a conservation area, check with Highland Council before ordering and we will pass on whatever product information they ask for.

In certain rooms, yes. The standard unit already has a Low-E coating, an argon fill and a warm-edge spacer, which is plenty for most of a house. A third pane earns its keep in a cold room on the exposed side of the building, and the surveyor will tell you which of yours those are rather than adding it to everything.

Every frame is made to the measurements taken at your survey, so there is a wait between the order going in and the fitters arriving, and how long that is depends on what you choose and when it can be brought north. You will be given the position at the time rather than a standard number that suits nobody. The fitting itself is 1 to 3 working days for most houses.

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).

It makes the measuring matter more, that is all. Thick walls give deep reveals and openings that are rarely square, so each one is recorded separately and the frame is built to those sizes rather than to a standard. Linings and sills are finished off neatly once the frame is in, and the rooms are swept before the fitters leave.

All of KW14, which takes in the town centre, Sir George's Street, Traill Street, Olrig Street, Princes Street, Riverside, Janetstown, Pennyland, Mount Vernon, Millbank, Ormlie, Burnside and Thurso East. Scrabster, Weydale, Murkle, Castletown, Castlehill, Dunnet, Brough, Reay, Halkirk and Bower are all within the same patch.

A building regulations compliance certificate, which is the paper a solicitor looks for if the house is ever sold, plus care notes for the frames and the hardware. Where trickle vents are required by the regulations, they are included. All workmanship is guaranteed, and that covers the frames, the sealed units, the hardware and the seals.
