Bay window quotes for Aberdeen’s granite and suburban homes
Aberdeen’s granite tenements often feature projecting bays with sash-and-case windows, typical of the Rubislaw quarry-era Victorian stock in the West End and Rosemount. Suburban Cults and Mannofield bungalows carry canted 1930s bays. Both need structural inspection during replacement, and our comparison service prioritises installers who understand granite lintels and cavity-less solid-wall construction.

Frequently asked questions
Do granite bays need special structural inspection? Yes. Granite solid-wall construction has no cavity, and lintels are often granite slabs that need careful inspection during frame replacement. A good installer surveys the head plate and corner posts before quoting rather than assuming.
Can I keep the original granite mullions? Usually yes. A sympathetic replacement fits the new frame inside the existing masonry opening, retaining granite cills and mullions where structurally sound. This is common practice in West End and Old Aberdeen conservation areas.
How long does a bay replacement take? A typical projecting or canted bay is fitted in one to two days once made to measure. Lead times from survey to install run four to seven weeks. Scaffolding is normally needed only if the bay carries a first-floor structure above.
