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 […]
Making the impossible possible
The owner of this beautiful period window didn’t think it could be secondary glazed, and if you look at its complexity, you can see why. But with lots of planning and a collaboration with Runcorn Glass & Bending, we made it easy work! For this involved and technical job, in the beautiful Town of Royal […]
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 […]

“Oh, the Places You’ll Go…”
It’s not every day you get to tread the same path as the likes of children’s author and illustrator Dr. Seuss, novelist John le Carre and the current UK Chancellor Rishi Sunak. If you’re wondering what these three could possibly have in common, they were all notable alumni of the Lincoln College of Oxford University. […]
Retirement Accommodation – out with the old?
Have you thought about where you’d like to spend your retired years? Until the time comes, I don’t think many give it much thought. But retirement accommodation is big business and is moving on apace to the outdated vision we might have of retirement homes of the past. A host of contemporary, purpose-built villages with […]
Storm projects restart after lockdown
We’re thrilled to have some of our team back in our head office and factory and it’s great to see everyone settling back in. We’ve been picking up on projects that were postponed due to the COVID-19 shutdown, as well as starting work on further orders we’ve received over the past few weeks. Although we […]
