Conservation Area Specialists in Glasgow, Lanarkshire, Renfrewshire & Dunbartonshire

At Hilston and Bennett, we specialise in timber sash and case windows and bespoke timber doors for listed buildings and properties within conservation areas. Our handcrafted products combine traditional elegance with modern performance — ideal for restoring period homes while enhancing energy efficiency.

Glasgow’s Historic Architecture

The city of Glasgow is renowned for its rich architectural heritage, particularly its 19th-century Victorian tenements and early-20th-century “Glasgow Style” buildings influenced by Charles Rennie Mackintosh. These properties, often constructed in red or blond sandstone, are especially suited to traditional timber sash and case windows — a key feature in maintaining both the aesthetic and structural integrity of these buildings.

Following the introduction of the Clean Air Act in 1956, many Glasgow properties have been beautifully cleaned and restored, revealing their original façade. Restoring these buildings with authentic timber windows and doors ensures continued compliance with conservation guidelines while delivering improved insulation and durability.

North & South Lanarkshire

From the Victorian villas of Hamilton and Motherwell to the charming cottages and traditional sandstone homes across towns like Bothwell, Strathaven and Lanark, North and South Lanarkshire feature many designated conservation areas where traditional timber features are not just preferred — they’re often required. Our bespoke windows and doors meet council specifications and enhance the historic appeal of these unique properties, helping residents reduce energy bills without compromising character.

Renfrewshire

Home to towns such as Paisley, Bridge of Weir, Kilmacolm and Renfrew, Renfrewshire boasts an array of historic homes and tenements. Many fall within conservation areas where retaining authentic design features is essential. We provide conservation-compliant timber window and door solutions tailored to preserve these heritage buildings, while offering modern benefits such as double glazing and draught reduction.

Dunbartonshire

Across East and West Dunbartonshire — from Bearsden and Milngavie to Helensburgh and Dumbarton — we support homeowners in preserving the architectural integrity of their properties. Many areas here, particularly those influenced by early suburban expansion, are subject to conservation area controls. Our traditional sash and case windows are expertly designed to align with planning expectations, and we offer guidance and tailored packages to suit both private homeowners and commercial properties.
