No window & door installer listed in Sanquhar yet.

A window and door installer fits new uPVC, composite, aluminium or timber windows and external doors - whole-house replacements, single units or upgrades to existing properties.

Look for FENSA or CERTASS registration so the installer can self-certify the work to building regulations and you avoid a separate council inspection.

Energy ratings matter for both heating bills and resale - aim for A-rated double or triple glazing, and ask about the warranty on both the units and the installation.

Sanquhar is a small town in upper Nithsdale, sitting on the River Nith between the Lowther Hills and the Southern Uplands.

The town is home to what claims to be the oldest post office in the world - Sanquhar Post Office has been in continuous use since 1712.

Sanquhar has a Covenanting history - the Sanquhar Declarations of 1680 and 1685 were nailed to the mercat cross by Covenanters rejecting the authority of the Crown.

The town has a traditional main street, a ruined castle and a knitting pattern - the Sanquhar pattern - that is a recognised heritage craft associated with the town.

Dumfries and Galloway is the most south-westerly council area in Scotland, stretching from the English border at Gretna to the Mull of Galloway - the southernmost point in Scotland - and from the Solway Firth coast inland to the hills of the Southern Uplands.

Dumfries is the largest town and administrative centre, a handsome red sandstone burgh on the River Nith where Robert Burns spent the last years of his life and is buried in St Michael's Kirkyard.

The region divides naturally into three historic areas: Dumfriesshire to the east, Kirkcudbrightshire (the Stewartry) in the centre and Wigtownshire to the west - each with its own character, landscape and loyalties.

The Galloway coast and countryside have a mild climate influenced by the Gulf Stream, fertile farmland, dark-sky reserves and a string of small harbour towns that attract artists, writers and visitors drawn to the quiet and the landscape.

Despite its size, the region is one of the most sparsely populated in Scotland - a place where community is strong, the pace is slower and the landscape ranges from river valleys and rolling farmland to wild moorland and rocky coastline.
