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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]

One of our recent projects, however, involved the renovation of Britain’s last remaining Semaphore Tower based in Chatley Heath, Surrey. The uniquely shaped grade II listed building, dating back to the […]
There are many reasons to love Britain’s beautiful historic buildings. They should command our respect for embodying our history and for being remarkable feats of architecture. But there is now another reason for us to embrace the buildings of bygone eras. Did you know they can help tackle the climate crisis? A recent report by […]
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 But retirement accommodation is big business and is moving on apace to the outdated vision we might have of retirement homes of the past.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 […]
