RESTORED WINDOWS ARE JUST WHAT THE DOCTOR ORDERED

16 April 2009

A historic family home in the heart of the Lake District is undergoing intensive care to restore its period features.

Wraysdale House in Coniston is being completely refurbished by its owner Dr Simon Fisher, who hopes to have the 19th century building restored to its former glory by Christmas.

He has instructed Ventrolla Lancashire and South Lakes to oversee repairs to the 17 sash windows at the three storey property, many of which are rotten, broken or screwed shut.

Dr Fisher said: “The building hasn’t had any repair work done for at least 20 years and the windows are in a particularly bad state. We estimate that seven need replacing completely, while the others can be renovated to make them look smart and function properly.

“It’s a major project but things are progressing well. I’m especially pleased with the standard of work from Ventrolla and the professionalism of their team while we remain living on site.

“Ventrolla came recommended to me by a friend and based on the results achieved so far I’d have no hesitation in doing the same myself.”
