IVORY HOUSE, ALL SAINTS GREEN, NORWICH

17 May 2005

Ventrolla assisted in the renovation and conversion of Ivory House in Norwich.  The Listed Georgian Building was converted from offices to luxury apartments. Working in conjunction with the main contractor French Kier Anglia, Norwich, Ventrolla renovated over 48 sash windows over a period of 3 months.

Work carried out: 

  • Ventrolla's Wood Repair System VR90 was used to carry out repairs and fix scarfed in timber.
  • All sashes were eased, adjusted as necessary and balanced. 
  • New sash cords were fitted and pulleys and hinges serviced. 
  • Windows were fully draughtproofed using Ventrolla's unique Perimeter Sealing System. 
  • Sills, which were beyond repair, were replaced.
  • Sashes to the front elevation originally contained lead glazing bars.  These were reproduced as near as possible in timber and installed into new sashes.
  • Solid brass catches were fitted.
  • Windows were stripped of paint, primed and refitted.
