St James Quarter/York Place – Stonework & Window Restorations

Situated beside the iconic St James Quarter, our project on York Place involved the restoration of 45 beautiful sash and case windows, each over 100 years old. Neglected for many years, these windows are now receiving the care they deserve, using traditional craftsmanship methods that respect the original structure while complying with listed building regulations.

The renovation included the replacement of sills, installation of a modern simplex easy-clean system, draught-proofing, and upgrading to double glazing for improved efficiency—all without compromising the historic look. We also installed new ironmongery and repaired areas affected by rot, restoring each window to its former glory.

It’s an honour to work on such a prestigious Edinburgh building. While this project came with its challenges, we’re proud to have delivered a finish that meets the highest standards. This restoration reflects our commitment to preserving Edinburgh’s heritage while enhancing its functionality for the future.
