Client: Leeds & Yorkshire Housing Association
Contractor: Ventrolla North East & Yorkshire Ridings

Ventrolla have assisted in the renovation and conversion of the Grade II listed Sutcliffe Buildings in Settle for the Leeds and Yorkshire Housing Association. Working in conjunction with the Housing Association, Ventrolla have renovated over 30 sash and casement windows. The conversion began in August 2005 and was completed in just over two weeks.

Work that was 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 draught proofed using Ventrolla's unique Perimeter Sealing System.

• Sash windows were fitted with the Ventrolla Sash Removal System, which allows quick and easy removal of sashes internally for future maintenance.

• Sills which were beyond repair were replaced.

• Solid brass catches, sash lifts and security stops were fitted.

• Windows were stripped of paint, primed and refitted.
