This property included a number of sliding sash and casement windows and French doors that were in need of attention. The brief from the owners was to repair and decorate all the external joinery at their property and overhaul all the windows. We provided new sashes and renovated and upgraded other windows as requested. The window works required scaffolding and so necessary pointing, guttering and chimney works were undertaken at the same time.
The work
- We provided double-glazed replacement hardwood sashes for the casement windows, housing a conservation-approved double-glazed unit with an impressive U-value of just 1.2 wk
- We upgraded the existing sashes for the sliding-sash windows: the boxes were repaired and sections replaced where necessary, a memory-foam seal was routed into the perimeter of the sashes and across the mid rail for draught- and noise-proofing
- The defective stained glass was repaired
- The front door and rear French doors were upgraded with draught-proofing, full decoration and stained glass repair
- We carried out a repair and decoration programme to all external joinery
- We decorated all the windows, which we fitted with polished chrome furniture to complete the upgrade
