Ventrolla has completed a project with the Bournville Village Trust in Birmingham, to preserve the “charm and functionality” of the estate’s heritage sash windows.
Bournville Village Trust, which was established in 1900 by philanthropist George Cadbury, approached Ventrolla to restore the windows of 100 historic properties. The scope included an initial technical survey of the windows, assessing issues such as decay, drafts and general wear and tear, upgrading the windows to meet modern thermal standards and implementing quality control measures.
Ventrolla said its specialists restored timber windows in over 100 properties, significantly improving the energy efficiencies while respecting the estate’s conservation requirements.
Daniel Price, survey project manager at Bournville Village Trust, said: “At Bournville Village Trust, we are committed to preserving the character and integrity of our properties while ensuring modern standards of comfort and efficiency. That’s why we chose to partner with Ventrolla for our bespoke, conservation timber windows. Ventrolla’s dedication to exceptional design, craftsmanship and joinery aligns perfectly with our values.
“Their skilled craftsmen have helped enhance the energy efficiency and overall durability of the properties, whilst also enhancing the aesthetic appeal of the homes. Together with Ventrolla, we are preserving the charm of our properties while providing the highest quality of living for our residents, blending tradition with innovation seamlessly.”
Mark Flanagan, managing director of Ventrolla, added: “Our collaboration with Bournville Village Trust really showcases our dedication to excellence in timber window restoration and renovation. The project exceeded all expectations and led to us discussing future works on additional properties within the BVT estate.”
