Frequently asked questions

Is my Corstorphine semi window stock structurally sound?
Most 1930s-60s timber casement is rotted at the cill and bottom rail by now. First-generation uPVC from the 1980s typically has failed sealed units and warped frames. Either way, replacement is more cost-effective than repair.
What's the cheapest like-for-like option?
A-rated modern uPVC casement from £395-£545 per window fitted, including removal and disposal. Building warrant not required for like-for-like.
Do you do french or bifold doors at the back?
Yes — aluminium bifold £4,500-£8,500, french doors £1,895-£2,895. Most 1960s semis have rear sliding patio doors that convert easily; opening enlargements need building warrant.
How long does a 3-bed Corstorphine semi take?
3-4 working days for 8-12 windows including external doors, with 2 fitters. Property stays occupied and weathertight throughout.
