Case Study – French Doors & Windows

I came to the Window Sanctuary after another window company had sold and fitted windows that were completely inappropriate for replicating the original 1920's Crittall windows, although this was the brief they had. The Window Sanctuary proved to have an entirely different approach: they could not have taken more care to ensure that every detail mirrored the Crittall originals, and that the windows were exactly what I wanted. I understand that the Window Sanctuary has generations of window making and fitting behind them, and it shows. Some of the new windows had to go into the original 1920's frames, and the WS fitting team's joinery skills were outstanding in being able to rout back the wood really carefully to make sure that the new windows had a completely solid fit. This was in contrast to the previous company's fitting team, who I can only describe as butchering the frames to get their windows in, causing a waterfall inside the windows when it rained. The Window Sanctuary are a team of very skilled craftsmen: I learned first hand how rare this is. Thank you.

We used The Window Sanctuary for two jobs on our property, a complete replacement of windows on our barn and then on our main home. I think in total over 40 windows or so including internal doors and substantial bifolds. All in all we worked together for just under 2 years and it was totally seamless, from design stage all the way through to final installations. Honestly I cannot recommend Oliver, Geoff and team enough, and I love that they are a local business - the service really was too notch.

We had a few quotes for 2 x black aluminium windows and French aluminium doors with fixed side panels. The Window Sanctuary were the most competitively priced and were quick to respond to our quote request and follow up questions. The timeline they gave for delivery and installation was accurate and the installers did a great job. We are really happy with our high quality and stylish looking doors and windows! Makes such a difference to our house.

The Window Sanctuary replaced all my old Crittal Windows with slimline heritage aluminium windows to retain the period look of my grade 2 listed property and furthermore replaced the old rotten timber sash windows with new hardwood timber sash windows bringing the property back to life. The guys were hardworking very knowledgeable and very professional I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this firm highly enough Warm regards Fraser Owen

Really enjoyed dealing with the Window Sanctuary. The office team are very friendly and courteous and the installation team were good fun and very thorough. The finishing touches were beyond my expectations. We're delighted with our new windows and the enhanced view they provide.

From the start The Window Sanctuary were friendly and polite and a pleasure to deal with. They offered lots of advice, especially helpful as our installation was a little tricky. We also had lots of issues with our extension which caused delays our end, which The Window Sanctuary worked around, even though it meant the installation had to be carried out in two lots, when initially it was meant to happen in one go - they were very accommodating and patient, thank you! Would definitely recommend.

The Window Sanctuary supplied and installed a window in the current house we are restoring. We were extremely happy with the service and quality of the window. Would definitely recommend this company for your period windows.

Great family company. Quality workmanship. Highly recommended.

The Window Sanctuary supplied and installed our patio doors. We are extremely happy with the service they provided and couldn’t be happier with how the doors have turned out. They are exactly the look and quality that we were after.
