Replacing windows in a Dundee tenement or villa

Dundee’s housing stock is not one pattern. Stone streets in the West End and Stobswell ask different questions of a window replacement than later houses in Douglas, Fintry, Charleston or Broughty Ferry.

Stone streets: West End, Stobswell and Hilltown

Tenements and villas here often keep deep stone reveals, bay windows and mixed later repairs. A survey checks how the existing frame meets the stone, whether the cill is sound and how a new unit should sit without inventing warrant rules on a website. Stairwells and shared elevations need neighbour-aware planning.

Later neighbourhoods: Douglas, Fintry, Charleston and Broughty Ferry

Later streets tend toward simpler openings and more consistent sizes, but weather exposure still varies — especially toward Broughty Ferry and the estuary. Replacement can be a full elevation or a staged run of rooms.
