The 5 Best Window Repair Services in Edinburgh Keeping Local Homes Secure & Cosy
Last month, a neighbour left their kitchen window slightly open overnight. Nothing was stolen, but they did spend breakfast muttering about how “it could’ve been worse.” Now they check every latch before bed like they’re running airport security.
If you’ve ever had a window that won’t close properly, or one that whistles every time the wind picks up, you know how annoying it can be.
That’s why I’ve put together the best window repair services in Edinburgh that can fix the problem before it drives you mad.
How much do window repair services in Edinburgh cost?
In Edinburgh, window repairs usually cost £80 to £140, depending on the damage. Minor fixes like seal or handle replacements range from £80 to £120, while glass or frame repairs cost around £150 to £250.
1. Edinburgh Sash & Case
Address: 50A Sighthill Crescent
Phone: 0131 453 5900
Business hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 8:30 AM – 4:30 PM
- Friday: 8:30 AM – 3:30 PM
Edinburgh Sash & Case specialises in traditional timber sash and case windows, and I can tell they’ve spent years perfecting their craft. They treat old windows with real respect instead of rushing to replace them, which says a lot about their approach.
The team’s experience with heritage properties stands out. They know how to bring out the best in older homes without stripping away what makes them unique (if you’re updating the interiors too, you can also check out these blind installers.
What I found most impressive is how much of the work they handle themselves. Everything’s done in-house, from crafting bespoke windows and shutters to fitting and painting them on-site.
It gives their projects a consistent finish and a level of care that feels rare these days.
Their repairs go beyond surface fixes, too. They’ll re-weight sashes, replace damaged glass, and restore timber that most others would probably give up on.
The only drawback worth noting is that because they’re specialists in heritage and bespoke projects, scheduling can take a bit longer. It’s not the kind of service you book on short notice.
High-quality, efficient, and careful
“I used Edinburgh Sash and Case to manufacture bespoke double glazed sashes to replace the original single glazed sashes in a large bay window. It was important to me that these were of quality and sympathetic to the character of the building. I’m really pleased with the quality of the sashes, which have made a huge difference to the warmth and outside noise in the room. The team that installed them turned up on time, were very efficient – the whole installation was complete inside two days, and to a very high standard, with care taken to clean up thoroughly afterwards. The painting was also arranged by them, and has been done to perfection. Would definitely recommend.”

Professional, skilled, and thorough
“We’ve just had our dormer and three single-glazed sash windows replaced and upgraded to double-glazed by Edinburgh Sash and Case. We’re really pleased with the result and the house is now cozy and quiet, and the windows look great. The joiners (Innes and Ben) and the painter (Ken) were outstanding. They were professional, friendly, always on time and left the house tidy at the end of each day. All three are truly skilled and knowledgeable craftsmen.
The company manages the whole process including submission to the council for planning consent, measuring up and manufacture of the windows.
The office team of Danielle and Chantelle are efficient with great comms, scheduling and explaining how the works will be carried out.
I strongly recommend Edinburgh Sash and Case if you need to replace or upgrade your windows.”

2. Local Window Care and Repair Ltd.
Address: Unit 14, 70 Strathclyde Street
Phone: 0131 224 0095
Business hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM
- Friday: 8:00 AM – 3:30 PM
Local Window Care and Repair Ltd. is one of those window services that cover almost everything you could need.
They work with PVCu, aluminium, and wooden double-glazed windows. They don’t stop at windows either. They handle doors, conservatories, and even garage doors.
What really stands out is how their team focuses on repairing rather than replacing whenever possible. They’ll come out for a free survey and quotation. It’s nice to get a clear idea of what’s actually needed without feeling pushed into replacing anything.
I noticed that their local presence makes a difference. Engineers are based in regional offices across Scotland, so response times are quick and practical.
The team’s experience shows too. 35 years in business with over 50,000 customers isn’t something you achieve by cutting corners.
What I found particularly impressive is that they’re set to work with landlords and housing associations. It shows a reliable, professional approach, especially for multi-property situations.
The only catch is that with such a detailed and repair-focused approach, costs are on the higher side compared to standard window firms.
Honest, efficient, and reliable
“We were very happy with the service we got from this company, when they repaired our 30 year old double glazed windows, without ever even suggesting we should get new ones installed, which is what I was expecting. They turned up when they said they would; and the guys who did the repairs were helpful and efficient. I definitely recommend them.”

3. Edinburgh Glass & Glazing
Address: 22 Featherhall Avenue
Phone: 0131 334 6111
Business hours:
- Monday to Thursday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
- Friday: 8:00 AM – 4:30 PM
What I liked about Edinburgh Glass & Glazing is their 24/7 emergency service for smashed windows or urgent repairs. It’s reassuring to know someone can respond quickly when things go wrong.
They’ve been serving Edinburgh for over 30 years, and it shows in how confident and efficient their team is. I can tell they’ve dealt with just about every type of broken or damaged glass.
Their team handles repairs on standard windows and doors carefully. A past customer mentioned that the crew had a positive, can-do attitude, and the surveyor took the time to clearly explain what needed to be done.
They cover domestic and commercial glazing, doors, and custom-cut glass. I also find their 10-year guarantee on domestic glazing reassuring if you’re thinking long-term.
The only limitation is that their focus is on standard glazing types. They might not be the right fit for more specialised or heritage windows.
Efficient, professional, and thorough
“Fantastic job from start to finish.
We had three failed double glazing units on our wooden conservatory and contacted Edinburgh Glass & Glazing.
They promptly came out to take a look, measure up and provide a quote. The work was then completed within a couple of weeks of us accepting the quote.
The work was brilliant, the guys turned up on time, removed the old windows and fitted the new ones in a couple of hours. They tidied up so well afterwards you’d never known they’d been.
Very happy with the service and would highly recommend Edinburgh Glass & Glazing.”
- Patrick Byrne, Google Review
Efficient, and reliable
“Was looking for a local established company to quote for 6 new double glazing windows. Visited their premises and spoke to Alistair (partner) who arranged in double quick time for one of their glaziers came out to measure up and a quote was provided. With the quote being acceptable the joiner who was to fit the windows also came out to double check the sizes and discuss the finish. Windows now fitted and look great. The two fitters Gary & Kevin tidied up after them and the whole experience from start to finish was excellent. Would recommend them if anyone looking for replacement windows in the Edinburgh & surrounding area,”

4. The Sash and Case Restoration Company
Address: Unit 15, Peffermill Business Centre
Phone: 0131 237 9293
Business hours: Monday to Friday: 8:00 AM – 5:00 PM
The Sash and Case Restoration Company really shows what skilled window repair looks like.
They don’t just slap on a new sash and call it done. They work carefully with traditional timber windows, the kind you see in Edinburgh’s Georgian and Victorian homes.
Their team really knows what they’re doing, whether it’s fixing rotten timber, re-roping, glazing, or draught-proofing. I like that they don’t just do the same thing for every window. They’ll walk you through the options so you can keep the original look.
What stands out is how hands-on and precise their approach is. You can tell the people on the team are trained to work with heritage properties, so even tricky or older windows get the attention they deserve.
Free consultations and tailored quotes make it easy to figure out what actually needs doing without feeling pressured.
They’re geared toward classic sash windows, so anything ultra-modern might be off the menu. For older homes, their know-how is spot-on.
Reliable, communicative, and skilled
“Kenny and the team did a great job of bringing our worn out and under loved original sash and case windows back to original working condition. They were really communicative, putting us at ease when we had questions and starting and finishing exactly as promised and on schedule. Exactly what you want -reliable, communicative and very fair pricing. Definitely recommend.”
- Jean-Pierre Adamson, Google Review
Skilled, courteous, and reliable
“We had five huge sash windows (11ft tall) renovated by one of Kenny’s teams in September 2019. Six months and one winter on, the windows are giving us great pleasure in both how they look and how they work. The team of three turned up on time each day and worked tirelessly, cheerfully, tidily and courteously. I wholeheartedly recommend this company for their quality of work, customer service and value.”

5. Glaziers Edinburgh
Address: 101 Rose St South Lane
Phone: 0800 669 6070
Business hours: Monday to Sunday: Open 24 hours
Glaziers Edinburgh is one of the most highly recommended by many locals for their thorough approach to window repair and glazing.
I’ve seen some of their repair work on sash windows, and they really pay attention to detail. They replaced the ropes neatly, repaired the sills carefully, and applied draught-proofing without any gasps or uneven seals.
Their 24/7 emergency glazing and boarding-up service across Edinburgh and the Lothians is also impressive. They are ready to help with break-ins, smashed windows, or storm damage.
They can board up a property right away, not just replace the glass. This service is available for both homes and businesses, showing the team can handle many types of buildings efficiently.
I also appreciate that they offer free quotes, and every service comes with at least a 10-year guarantee.
While their 24/7 emergency service is quick and reliable, getting a non-urgent job booked might take some time. It’s worth planning ahead if you need repairs on historic or detailed windows.
Prompt and helpful
“Very pleased with service. Our office window was vandalised and we needed a glazier at short notice. Paul responded quickly boarding up the window and making it safe until new glass could be supplied and fitted.
Job was completed today Paul and his workers were polite helpful and cleared up after them
Happy to give them 5 Stars

Knowledgeable, diligent, and thorough
“Paul did a great job, was diligent and clear on the issues. He clearly knew his stuff, highlighting issues that had been done at installation by fitters years ago, and fixing them. Went beyond just servicing and fixing handles. Highly recommend.”
