About Glasgow Architectural Salvage
What is Architectural Salvage?
The concept of Architectural Salvage has been around for some time now, as people recognise the superior quality of the fittings & fixtures that were once so common in the properties of the past.
In the modern standardised world of mass production, it can be almost impossible to find doors etc. of the right size & style to suit an older property. Other fittings such as fireplaces, lighting & door furniture are equally as hard to source. The quality & individuality that was once expected & commonplace is often lacking in the modern equivalent.
This, together with the realisation that original features can enhance & also be an investment in the value of a property, is the concept of architectural salvage.
Architectural Salvage has always appealed to us (Ben Kingston & Xanthe Bird), as we have been involved in the renovation of old buildings for some time. We have a keen, if amateur interest, in Industrial Archeology & are concerned with the general lack of recycling within the building industry.
As a company of equal partners, we are all able to indulge our own specific interests, be it 1950s plastic handles, kitchen ranges or the joy of welding. This gives each of us the enthusiasm & impetus which comes along with never knowing what the next day will bring.
At G.A.S. there's always something happening & several works in progress, & we're keen to keep this dynamic air to our warehouse.
While our products are for sale as displayed, we also offer added services for example:
Doors can be stripped. Where Yale locks etc. have been fitted, we can expertly patch them with matching timber. Radiators can be tested & fitted with modern fittings, blasted, primed & topcoated if required.

- Services
We buy salvage for cash and will visit and offer you a fair deal usually within the week almost anywhere in central Scotland. Though we're not coming all the way to Castle Douglas for a door knob you understand! - Past Items Archive
We are maintaining a record of items that have been on our books but have since sold. We hope that this will help to give you an idea of they wide variety of salvage as well as the almost unique nature of what we sell. - Contact Us
We'd like to take this opportunity to tell you that we have no brochure of our stock. The nature of our business, (and its great advantage), is that our stock is varied and ever changing, and so a brochure would simply not be practical. - Our site will be kept up to date especially with unusual interesting items so please make regular visits. If you are after something in particular then please use this form to let us know of any special requirements or queries you might have.
