Ventrolla in your words
Heritage window specialists for period homes across Bath
Owning a home in a UNESCO World Heritage Site is a privilege – and a responsibility. Whether yours is a listed townhouse on the Royal Crescent, a Georgian terrace in Bathwick, or a stuccoed villa in Lansdown, our surveyors know the planning landscape inside out and work hand in hand with local conservation officers.
Original glazing bars, sight lines, ironmongery, paint finishes – every detail is matched. We preserve original features while improving performance, noise reduction and energy efficiency.
We’ve been in your neighbourhood
From the centre and the Royal Crescent out to Widcombe, Bathwick, Lansdown, Larkhall, Weston, and Combe Down – and across the villages surrounding the Somerset countryside – our Bath team has restored sash windows in homes of every scale and era. Chances are, we’ve already worked a few doors down from you.
About Bath’s architecture
Bath’s Georgian sashes were designed for elegance, not insulation. Tall proportions, slender glazing bars and fine symmetry make them some of the most beautiful windows in Britain – and some of the draughtiest. Rattling sashes, rotten timber frames and sills, perished cords, whistling meeting rails and decades of paint build-up are all part of the inheritance.
Our award-winning Ventrolla Perimeter Sealing System (VPSS™), discreet draught-proofing, fresh cording and bespoke joinery repairs solve every one of them without compromising the window’s original character. Where timber is past saving, we replicate the exact profile in new joinery, faithful to the Palladian principles that shaped the city.
