Preserving Heritage: Timber Sash and Case Windows in East Dunbartonshire
East Dunbartonshire is home to some of Scotland’s most charming and historically significant towns and villages. From the elegant streets of Bearsden to the tranquil village setting of Clachan of Campsie, the area is rich in character and architectural heritage. At Hilston and Bennett, we specialise in restoring and upgrading traditional homes with handcrafted timber sash and case windows — combining classic design with modern performance.
Honouring Local Heritage
With 14 designated conservation areas, East Dunbartonshire Council places a strong emphasis on preserving the unique appearance and history of its built environment. These include:
- Old Bearsden
- Westerton Garden Suburb
- Milngavie Town Centre
- Tannoch
- Cadder
- Clachan of Campsie
- Bardowie
- Baldernock
- Coltpark Avenue/Stuart Drive
- Balmuildy/Kirkintilloch Road
- Beech Road/Garngaber Avenue
- Central Kirkintilloch
- Milngavie Reservoirs
- South Lenzie
Properties within these areas are often subject to strict planning regulations that require any external changes to remain sympathetic to the original design. This is especially true for windows and doors — key architectural elements that define a building’s appearance.
Why Choose Timber Sash and Case Windows?
Our sash and case windows are crafted from high-quality timber and tailored to match the original window profiles found in period homes. They offer:
- Authentic heritage design to meet conservation standards
- Improved insulation and energy efficiency
- Durability and longevity with sustainable materials
- Smooth operation with modern mechanisms that retain traditional charm
We work closely with homeowners and planning departments to ensure all installations meet conservation requirements while dramatically improving comfort and performance.
