Harrogate resident Jan Warhurst was fed up that every time she got the decorators in they painted over the sashes and got them stuck.

So when she decided to have the original sash windows renovated and refurbished at the three-bedroom property, ease of maintenance was a real consideration. Jan said:

“Now I am able to remove the windows from the inside, quickly and easily, then paint them and put them back myself which I have done. It has made a big difference and means I don’t have to pay decorators to do the work from the outside.”

“We have completed the Ventrolla journey and the windows have been beautifully refurbished. I have always been happy with the quality and workmanship and the clean and tidy way the work has been carried out.”

“I considered the refurbishing costs against the redecorating costs over the years and feel I made the right choice.”

She has lived in the house for 22 years and wanted to keep the original 100-year-old sash windows.

Her research led her to Ventrolla who surveyed the property and carried out the work in three phases to help spread the cost. The ground floor sitting room window was renovated in 2009, followed by two rear windows in 2012 and this year two sliding sash windows in the bedroom and bathroom windows were renewed.
