Sussex Sash Breathes Life into Double Gothic Arch Windows in Niton

In the heart of Niton, nestled amidst the historical charm of a stone farmhouse, a tale of preservation unfolds. The custodian of this venerable residence, our client, had tirelessly maintained her sash windows through the years. Yet, the time had come for a profound restoration – a task Sussex Sash embraced with expertise and reverence. This is the story of the double gothic arch restoration that not only revitalized the windows but also safeguarded the historical essence of the property.

Preserving Heritage: The Journey Begins

The journey began with a client deeply committed to preserving the character of her historical abode. Sussex Sash, renowned for its prowess in the repair, restoration, and replacement of traditional timber sash windows, stepped in to weave its magic on the double gothic arch windows.

A Delicate Ballet: Careful Removal and Off-site Restoration

The intricate arched sashes were carefully removed, each one cradling the history of the farmhouse. Transported to our workshop, they underwent meticulous restoration, a process that combined craftsmanship and respect for heritage. Meanwhile, clear polycarbonate acted as a temporary guardian, allowing natural light to grace the interiors during the off-site restoration.

Timing is Everything: Coordinated Onsite Works

With the property temporarily vacant, onsite repairs unfolded like a carefully choreographed dance. Coordinating each movement to perfection, Sussex Sash worked diligently to ensure that the restoration of the double gothic arch windows harmonized seamlessly with the historical rhythm of the farmhouse.

Crafting Longevity: Hardwood Sills and Accoya Timber Repairs

The restoration journey unveiled a need for new hardwood sills. Sussex Sash, committed to longevity and quality, crafted these essential components with precision. Major repairs to the lower sections were executed in Accoya timber, a choice that not only ensures durability but also pays homage to the historical significance of the windows.

Preserving History, Delighting Clients: The End Result

As the final pieces of the restoration puzzle fell into place, the client and her family beheld the rejuvenated double gothic arch windows. The satisfaction was palpable, and the end result not only retained but enhanced the historical value that these windows brought to the property.

More Than Clients: A Friendship Beyond Restoration

In the realm of restoration, relationships extend beyond the professional. As a testament to the trust and satisfaction that accompanies our work, a friendship was established and the anticipation of future collaborations for additional restoration projects is in the air.

In Niton, amidst the echoes of history, Sussex Sash continues to be the custodian of architectural legacies, breathing life into windows that stand as witnesses to the passage of time.
