Take a plush Victorian terrace in an upmarket location, mix in a designated Conservation Area and a nearby historic city garden and you have the recipe for a highly desirable place to live. For this prestigious project, our collaboration with Newland Construction continues. We’re fitting glazing to sash windows in a deceivingly spacious listed home […]
Building relationships with building owners
Many glazing companies don’t get to create lasting working relationships with clients as their work on a property is generally a one-off installation project. Whilst we love working on one-off projects, whether that be in someone’s gorgeous period home or historic buildings such as cathedrals and universities, we feel really lucky that we do get […]
Preserving the capital’s captivating history
We love working on historic buildings across the UK, but there’s something about preserving the history of our capital that engenders an extra sense of pride. One of our latest projects takes us into the heart of Mayfair, to one of the first Georgian squares to have been built in the 1720s in the West […]
Storm make a welcome return to Church projects
We have talked previously about how our secondary glazing can play an important role in preserving the stunning windows of churches and cathedrals. Our previous article ‘Secondary glazing provides divine solution for church windows’ describes how this can be challenging, but extremely rewarding work that we love to be involved in. We’re thrilled to be […]
Rubbing shoulders with the redcoats
No, we haven’t been replacing windows at Butlins holiday camps…The redcoats to which we refer are none other than the amazing Chelsea Pensioners! Some of the 300 veterans who now reside within the walls of the historic Royal Hospital Chelsea have become stars of stage and screen, most recently, producing the 2019 winner of Britain’s […]
Enchanted by the olde worlde charm of Overbury Estate
Very few country estates in Britain have maintained their manorial presence of old, embedded in the community and acting as overseers of the villages in which they stand. Worcestershire’s Overbury Estate, however, is a remarkable example where this historic authority remains very much alive. Thanks to the current owner, Lady Penelope Bossom, Overbury Court still […]
Preserving an iconic building for future generatons!
“Architecture is not based on concrete and steel, and the elements of the soil. It’s based on wonder.” – Daniel Libeskind Have you ever wondered why university buildings are architecturally grandiose and imposing? They are simply learning spaces, after all. Should they not be functional and practical rather than remarkable and ornate? We’ve been lucky […]
Work at the National Trust’s Plas Newydd House
It’s hard not to get wrapped up in the history of the magnificent houses we work on. One of our latest projects for the National Trust, the stunning Plas Newydd mansion of Anglesey, is steeped in historical tales having housed a string of marquesses across five centuries, from the 1500s to the 1900s. Working on […]
Secondary glazing provides divine solution for church windows
Feature windows have played a crucial role in church architecture throughout the ages, with shapes and styles changing to fit the trends of the times. Works of art in themselves, they contribute to a church’s majesty, and the ambience they create adds an extra dimension to the experience of worship within. These often centuries-old features […]
Helping transform Overton House – a landmark Cheltenham building
We love seeing beautiful old buildings modernised and re-purposed, so they can be enjoyed and used every day. Combining old and new is a great way of retaining the charm and heritage of an area, whilst providing practical and functional space either for the community or commercial use. The Wetherspoons chain of pubs are a […]
