Bay and bow window replacements for Edinburgh tenements and suburban villas
Bays in Edinburgh come in two very different flavours: the tall stone Victorian tenement oriels of Marchmont, Bruntsfield and Newington, and the more modest three-panel splayed bays on interwar Corstorphine and Craigleith villas. The tenement bays are almost always sash-and-case behind rusticated stone bays and fall under Listed Building Consent; the suburban ones are timber-framed and much easier to replace. Legacy Windows is a quote comparison service that matches you with installers who correctly identify which regime applies to your property.

Frequently asked questions
Can a tenement stone bay be re-glazed without full LBC? Draught-sealing and re-glazing the existing sashes with slim units inside the original frame usually falls under LBC but is routinely approved. Removing the stone bay itself never is. Your installer should be clear which category the job falls into on day one.
Typical price for a suburban Corstorphine bay? A three-panel splayed UPVC bay comes in around £1,520 to £2,600 fitted. Timber-effect UPVC or full timber replacement runs £2,700 to £3,600. Reinforced corner posts and a new tiled or slated bay roof push toward the upper end.
How long does a tenement bay job take? Slim-glazed sash replacement inside an existing tenement bay is usually a two-day fit per bay. LBC turnaround adds 8-12 weeks upfront, so the whole timeline from quote to install typically runs 14-18 weeks in Edinburgh.
