Sash Cord Replacement across Scotland Central Belt
The hard part of Sash Cord Replacement in Scotland Central Belt is not the making, it is the measuring. You will find mostly sandstone tenements, Georgian New Town terraces and post-war housing schemes in this area, and it moves as it ages. Locally you are contending with cold wet winters with strong westerly exposure, so sash and case failure in tenement stock and cill decay at stone junctions is the fault we are called out to. Everything we do here comes back to rebalancing weights so the sash holds at any height.
The site visit comes first, because assumptions made in an office get paid for on site. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A detail specific to this area: Scottish sash and case construction differs from English box sash and needs matching.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Scotland Central Belt?
Yes. We cover the whole of Scotland Central Belt including Glasgow, Edinburgh, Stirling, Falkirk and the surrounding villages. Scottish sash and case construction differs from English box sash and needs matching. Because cold wet winters with strong westerly exposure, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
