Bay and bow window replacements for Glasgow tenements and 1930s villas
Glasgow’s bay-window story runs on two rails: the stone Victorian tenement oriels and canted bays in the West End and Southside, and the 1930s three-panel splayed bays on suburban semis in Bearsden, Cardonald and Newlands. The first are B-listed and demand slim-glazed timber inside the original stone; the second are timber-framed and swap cleanly for UPVC or aluminium. Legacy Windows is a quote comparison service that matches you with installers who identify which regime applies before quoting.

Frequently asked questions
Can a tenement stone bay be re-glazed without full LBC? Slim-glazing existing sashes inside the original stone bay usually needs LBC but is routinely approved. Removing the stone bay is never permitted on listed frontages. Your installer should submit drawings and glass specs before ordering.
How much for a 1930s Bearsden semi bay? A three-panel splayed UPVC bay comes in around £1,410 to £2,500 fitted. Timber-effect UPVC or full timber replacements run £2,600 to £3,340. Reinforced corner posts and a new tiled bay roof push toward the upper end.
How long does a tenement bay job take? Slim-glazing existing tenement sashes is typically a two-day fit per bay. LBC turnaround adds 8-12 weeks upfront, so total timeline in Glasgow West is usually 14-18 weeks from first quote to install.
