There are some streets in London that could have come straight from Mary Poppins, they scream grandeur, sophisticatation and are the heigh of luxury city living. This year we’ve been privileged to be involved in work on a couple of developments. The first was in Great Cumberland Place, a row of beautiful multi-storey homes in […]
Bishop Hannington Church in Hove
This is an incredible landmark building with a fascinating story behind it. It was built in the late 1930s as a memorial to James Hannington, who was killed as a Christian missionary in Uganda, and is now Grade II listed. Although it’s a relatively modern building, its position means it can be affected by strong […]
Why should we look after our historic windows?
The last few decades have led to our historic windows being seen as something of a liability rather than the asset they truly are! As efforts are increasing to make our old buildings more energy efficient, replacement windows have become an even greater threat. Our ultimate mission is to protect them, but why are we […]
A day in the life of a Storm surveyor
Have you ever wondered what a typical day for Storm looks like? Every day is different, we could be surveying a historic home in Dublin and fitting secondary glazing to a church in Brighton in the same week, but one thing is for sure, we’ll see a lot of history. There are some really early […]

New life for an old mill
It’s such a shame when a beautiful old building reaches the end of its original use – but we love nothing more than helping to give it a new lease of life. Windmills, textile mills and watermills are some of the most interesting examples of British architecture but rendered obsolete in modern times many have […]
A peek behind the scenes
Everyone loved our recent company video, so we thought we’d tell you a little bit more about the special windows that were the star of the show. The famous Mr. B, who has become quite the celebrity, found his beautiful period property cold and draughty in the winter months. A problem all too familiar for […]
A divine church transformation
A landmark church building in Kent designed by the architect of St. Pancras Station has been saved from decades of decay thanks to a restoration project that has seen it transformed into stunning apartments. The Storm team was delighted to be invited to work on the project which has breathed new life into All Saints […]
Residential properties
We’ve certainly been putting in some mileage over the last few weeks travelling the length and breadth of the country, fitting beautiful residential properties from bonny Scotland right down to the English Riviera in Devon. In fact, this is the perfect time of year to carry out this work if you want to be warm, […]
