Craftsmanship expertise at its finest

This company strives in what they do, and it shows. Nothing was beyond their capabilities, as these workmen are trained to the highest calibre and the finishing results were out of this world. I would highly recommend this company to anybody, without hesitation. These are incredible talented young men who take pride in themselves and their job, something that's lacking from a lot of young people these days. I cannot fault perfection, and that is exactly the experience l got from Ventrolla, Harrogate. I have experienced 'the best,' of 'the best' in Ventrolla, Harrogate.

Our Christmas came early with Tim and Simon from Ventrolla!

We had the pleasure of a visit from Tim and Simon (from Ventrolla) who replaced our aged sash windows quickly and efficiently. Tim and Simon were ultra-professional, methodical and courteous throughout the three day encounter. They were a pleasure to have in our home and nothing was too much trouble for them. We are left with lovely windows after a satisfying and enjoyable three days. Thank you!

Refurbishment of Sash Windows

I have just had my sash windows renovated by Ventrolla, Harrogate and I have to say what an excellent job they have done. The windows now work beautifully with their performance enhanced using draft proofing strips / brushes. The gentlemen who came and did the work were polite and professional with the minimum of mess created. They left the house as they found it with all dust etc cleaned up. Thank you Ventrolla. Very pleased.

Andrew Snape

Prompt and efficient service

We have had prompt and efficient service from the Ventrolla team throughout the process. The team in Harrogate were very helpful dealing with my initial call, the follow up technical survey happened very quickly and thanks to another job finishing early we were able to get the work done within a couple of weeks. The team worked cleanly and efficiently and the end result has allowed us to keep the original character of our Victorian sash windows without all the draughts and rattles that used to be associated with them. Very happy with the results so far.

Robert Swift

Excellent job all round

Fitting double glazed sashes and repairing windows. Prompt response to our request for a quotation. Very helpful staff in office in Harrogate. The fitting team worked hard, were easy to get on with and left the house very clean despite the large amount of work needed to refurbish the windows as well as fit the double glazed sashes. We are very pleased with the windows.

Pat Dawson

Excellent product and service

The Ventrolla product is fantastic and has transformed our windows in terms of ease of use and comfort. The Ventrolla team in Harrogate managed the project very efficiently and the fitters on site did an excellent job in fitting the windows despite having some unforeseen installation issues once the old windows were out.

Our local surveyors understand the planning considerations across the town’s conservation areas, the specific detailing of its Victorian and Edwardian architecture, and our Ventrolla Consult service knows what property owners here expect from a restoration.

And our Harrogate workshop is minutes away – which means faster surveys, quicker manufacture and tighter project control than anywhere else we work.

Inside our Harrogate workshop

Our Harrogate workshop has been operating for more than 15 years and remains the central manufacturing hub for UK heritage joinery.

Twenty-one people work here – eight bench joiners, two apprentices, two glaziers, a glazing and hardware technician, two finishers, a paint sprayer, a machinist, two warehouse operatives, a production manager, a factory planner and a warehouse and logistics supervisor.

Every window is built start to finish by the same bench joiner before being passed to the glazing and finishing team. We use longevity-focused materials such as Accoya where appropriate to reduce swelling and improve durability. Through bars are used in line with historic practice – we don’t use finger-jointing, duplex bars or stick-on bars unless required. From single bottom sash replacements to fully bespoke, colour-matched, dual-colour specifications, the Harrogate workshop delivers heritage joinery to the standard the town’s architecture demands.

About Harrogate’s architecture

Harrogate’s spa heritage and stone architecture are iconic, and its grand windows are an essential part of that classic look. However, keeping that charm alive can be a struggle. Over the years, layers of paint can leave windows stuck, while ageing pulleys and cords make them difficult to operate.

Our Sash Removal System (SRS™), the award-winning Ventrolla Perimeter Sealing System (VPSS™) for effective draught-proofing, bespoke joinery, and specialist glazing work address all of them, restoring Harrogate’s decorative character while making maintenance easier and delivering up to 30% improved energy efficiency, along with the thermal and weather performance a modern home needs.

Frequently asked questions

What is sash window restoration, and why is it a popular choice for Harrogate period properties?

Harrogate sash window restoration involves repairing and refurbishing original timber sash windows to improve their appearance, operation, and energy efficiency.

For many Victorian, Georgian, and Edwardian homes in Harrogate, restoration is often more cost-effective than full replacement and helps preserve the property’s character and heritage features.

Should I choose sash window restoration or replacement for my Harrogate property?

In many cases, Harrogate sash window restoration is the preferred option for period and heritage properties, as it preserves the original timber windows while improving their appearance, performance, and energy efficiency.

However, where windows are beyond economical repair, we can also provide timber sash window replacement in Harrogate.

Following a survey, we can advise whether sash window repair, timber window renovation, or replacement sash windows in Harrogate would provide the most practical and cost-effective solution for your home.

How much does sash window restoration cost in Harrogate?

The cost of sash window restoration in Harrogate depends on the condition of the windows, the extent of timber repairs required, and whether additional services such as draught-proofing, repainting, or glazing upgrades are needed.
