Home energy upgrades in Glasgow
Glasgow is the city of the sandstone tenement, the shared-stair block of flats that houses a huge number of people.
Homes you will find in Glasgow
Red and blond sandstone tenements, with their solid walls and shared roofs, stairs and gardens, dominate the older parts of the city. Post-war housing schemes, 1960s towers, and newer flats make up much of the rest.
Scotland has its own EPC register and building standards, and tenement property law means that roofs and common parts are owned and decided jointly with neighbours.

Upgrades that often come up here
- Double or triple glazing: Replacing or upgrading sash windows is a big topic in tenements.
- Draught-proofing: Cheap and useful for older timber windows and doors.
- Smart thermostat and heating controls: Better controls and TRVs can help in flats with older heating.

Worth knowing locally
In a tenement, roof and external-wall work usually needs agreement with the other owners. Many parts of the city are conservation areas, so check what applies before changing windows.
