Seaview Refurbishment Project - Sussex Sash Tackles Major Decay

Darren Willmott • Apr 29, 2024

Mrs F H, reached out to Sussex Sash during lockdown & requested for us to take on the restoration, refurbishment & finishing of the glazed joinery to the family home in Seaview. 

Sadly, we were unable to take on the project within that season and many more months of decay followed, with more rot and decay taking hold. 

Mrs F H eventually reached out again, and we were contracted to undertake the full refurbishment, repairs and finishing to all the external glazed joinery items at the property. This involved major repairs to almost every item, sending all the windows back to our workshop for stripping of the failed paint, applying splice and bond repairs where necessary and completing with full finishing. Major repairs were also needed to the single box frames and bay windows; there were dozens of joinery items on this project. 

The property’s unique style needed a two-tone paint finish, both internally and externally, which were colour matched as originally specified. 

Other remedial works were requested to be completed to the flat roofs and external apron, as we were on site and had full access equipment erected, we were happy to undertake these additional works for efficiency and longevity.

As expected, the project was completed on schedule, resulting in a happy customer, and giving many more years of life to the original restored sash windows and external doors to the property.

We met all of the project needs and provided detailed communication with photos and videos during the works.

Mrs F H said she would have no hesitation in recommending and referring Sussex Sash to others, both locally and further afield. Another happy customer and a worthwhile and exciting contract completed for Sussex Sash!
