Background
At Tailored Wood, we have had the privilege of undertaking a truly monumental restoration project at Bourne Hill House, a revered Grade 2 Star listed property owned and occupied by Wiltshire Council. As a flagship building for the council, Bourne Hill House holds a special place in the region’s architectural heritage, embodying a legacy of elegance and grandeur.
The Project
Our partnership with Wiltshire Council began with a clear mission: to restore and refurbish the 67 original box sash windows that grace the façade of this iconic building. Recognizing the significance of this project, we approached it with the same meticulous care and attention to detail that defines our work.
Our Process
While our restoration process mirrored the tried-and-tested methods we employ in all our projects, the sheer scale of Bourne Hill House demanded additional measures to ensure the success of the endeavour. With 67 windows to restore, each presenting its own unique challenges and intricacies, we implemented extra processes to guarantee that no detail was overlooked.
From the outset, our team of skilled craftsmen meticulously assessed each window, meticulously documenting its condition and identifying areas in need of attention. The restoration process followed our established protocol: disassembling the windows, treating the timber, repairing any damage, and applying multiple coats of paint to restore their original luster.
However, given the size and significance of Bourne Hill House, we went above and beyond to ensure that each window received the same level of care and craftsmanship. Our dedicated team worked tirelessly to maintain consistency across the project, adhering to strict quality standards and timelines to deliver exceptional results.
Conclusion
Through our unwavering commitment to excellence, we have successfully revitalized Bourne Hill House’s iconic windows, breathing new life into this historic landmark. The restored windows now stand as a testament to our dedication to preserving architectural heritage and upholding the legacy of Wiltshire Council’s flagship property.
As proud custodians of Bourne Hill House’s history, we are honoured to have played a role in its preservation. If you have a restoration project of similar scale and significance, we invite you to partner with us and experience firsthand the craftsmanship and expertise that define Tailored Wood.
