Lesson in Victorian Studies as Ventrolla renovates period
windows of City of Bristol College
Students of the City of Bristol College have experienced
first-hand, a study of Victorian architecture, following
Ventrolla’s upgrade of the traditional windows of three
period buildings, which form part of the Ashley Down
based College.
Sash window renovation specialists, Ventrolla, have
upgraded the sash windows of Cabot, Davy and Brunel
houses, as part of a £22 million redevelopment
programme. All three buildings currently accommodate
active classrooms that form part of the City of Bristol
seat of learning.
As part of an extensive project to refurbish the Grade
II listed Victorian buildings, Ventrolla Wessex worked
closely with main contractors, Pearce Construction
Limited in the renovation of 700 sash windows at Cabot
and Davy houses and Chamberlain Contractors in the
renovation of a further 250 windows at Brunel house. To
ensure minimum disruption to the students during
refurbishment of the windows, efforts were made by
Ventrolla to work during weekends and holiday periods.
Ventrolla are the UK market leaders in sash window
renovation, and as such, have an excellent reputation
for faithfully retaining the traditional style of a
window, whilst bringing modern standards of performance.
Ventrolla used their own VR90 Wood Repair system to
repair, wherever possible, the original sash windows at
Ashley Down. Where it was not possible to retain the
original windows, Ventrolla replicated the traditional
style, which even required the reproduction of the
original delicate glazing bars. Thereafter, the company
upgraded the windows using its unique Perimeter Sealing
System, to eliminate draughts and rattles, as well as
significantly reducing the effects of external noise. To
ensure on-going ease of maintenance, Ventrolla installed
its Sash Removal System, which allows quick and easy
removal of sashes, facilitating cleaning and decorating.
Finally, due to the height of the windows, cord operated
opening systems were fitted to each.
In a project necessitating excellent co-ordination
between all parties, including Ventrolla, Pearce
Construction, Chamberlain Contractors, Architects - Bush
Consultancy and Management Consultants, Provelio Ltd;
Director of Estates at the college, Richard Thorold
comments: “In an educational establishment, it is vital
to ensure that any works are carried out efficiently and
with minimal disruption to our students. We are
extremely pleased with the outcome, and with the
improvements that have been brought to the college
environment.”
