Glencairn Greit House, Dumbarton

Client:

West Dunbartonshire Council

The Story

Located on a busy high street in the heart of Dumbarton, Glencairn Greit House is a nationally important listed tenement that required a total structural and aesthetic overhaul. Go-Wright Ltd was appointed by West Dunbartonshire Council to lead a complex refurbishment programme. The project demanded meticulous site management due to its high-traffic location and the severe level of internal and external decay present within the building fabric. 

Our Technical Approach

We delivered an integrated, multi-trade conservation package that addressed both the structural integrity and the historic facade of the building. Our scope of work included: 

  • Specialist Remediation: Careful internal strip-out followed by extensive rot works and professional guano removal to prepare the structure for restoration. 
  • Roofing & Leadwork: Full renewal of roof timbers, a high-specification new slated roof, and the installation of snow guards and traditional leadwork to ensure long-term weather-tightness. 
  • Heritage Joinery: Replacement of timber sash and case windows, bespoke-manufactured to replicate the original historic profiles while improving thermal performance. 
  • Facade Conservation: Utilising the DOFF cleaning system to sensitively remove pollutants from the stonework followed by comprehensive lime mortar repointing to restore the building’s breathability. 

The Result

The restoration of Glencairn Greit House has successfully preserved a vital piece of Dumbarton’s architectural history. Despite the logistical challenges of a bustling high street location, Go-Wright delivered a turnkey solution that brought this historic tenement back to its former glory, meeting the exacting standards of the local authority and heritage stakeholders.
