AWD RESTORATIONS

There’s something about a timber bay window that’s just so pleasing - this is one of our fave pics.

(And it’s a lovely colour too!).

Here’s an example of what I mean by ‘restoration, using modern materials..’ ..

Very grotty effort by someone in the past obviously trying to seal a leak or draught coming through the sash box/brickwork join.

External frame sealant applied, then dabbed over with a wet sponge to work it into the crevices and blend in with the brickwork (and disguise the mess of sealant which otherwise would be almost impossible to clean off) - and voila, nice fresh look to the install ::).

(Ps reminder that we fit the new units into the existing sash box whenever possible; means customers get to keep the original detailing - eg. Cill /architrave / exterior reveals etc - that make a period home look the part).

Another double bay Victorian semi completed - this time in Earlsdon, Coventry.

Original windows (see last pic) swapped out for nicely detailed pvc sashes, sourced from Quickslide.

Customer went for the A+ 1.2u value glazing upgrade, so should be super warm this winter.

Spent a bit more time on the bathroom, and two rear facing bedrooms as these had been replaced / ‘refurbed’ over the years - resulting in loss of the interior architraves and trims (which we’ve now replaced with something characterful) plus some really awful re-pointing that we’ve now disguised with brown frame sealant carefully sponged over the areas.

Final job was resetting the hinge geometry to get the door to close properly - and applying some storm guard pro door draught excluders.

Looks good ::).
