If your home is listed or in a conservation area, changing windows usually needs consent from City of Edinburgh Council, and like-for-like timber or sash repairs may be expected. Check before you order.
Windows & doors and Edinburgh homes
Edinburgh's housing ranges from the Georgian terraces and flats of the New Town (part of the Old and New Towns UNESCO World Heritage Site) and Victorian tenements in Marchmont and Leith, to the stone 'colonies' terraces, interwar bungalows in Corstorphine and newer estates on the city edges.
- In tenement flats, the look of the windows can affect the whole building. Some factors or title deeds specify the style or colour, and sash-and-case windows are common in older blocks.
- Older stone houses often have deep window reveals and timber sash windows. It's worth asking whether repair and draught-proofing is an option as well as replacement.
- In conservation areas and listed buildings, replacing windows or doors usually needs planning permission or listed building consent from City of Edinburgh Council.
- Victorian and Edwardian villas often have large bay windows and original front doors with stained glass that are worth preserving.
- Newer homes usually have modern double glazing, so most jobs are failed seals, handles or door upgrades rather than full replacements.
Areas covered include Old Town, New Town, Leith, Stockbridge, Morningside, Bruntsfield, Marchmont, Portobello, Corstorphine, Gorgie, Craigentinny, Gilmerton. Local authority: City of Edinburgh Council.

How it works
- Tell us the job. Give a short description, your postcode and roughly when.
- We pass it to one local tradesperson who covers your area and does that kind of work. We pick one, not five, so your phone won't ring all day.
- They contact you to arrange a visit or a quote. You decide whether to go ahead.
To be upfront about what we are: we're an independent quote-request service, not a trade company. We don't vet, insure or guarantee anyone's work, so always get a written quote and check the registrations that apply to your job.

No. It's free for homeowners and tenants. Some tradespeople pay us a small fee for an introduction.
How many people will contact me?
