We are proud to have been commissioned for a major joinery project at Millfield School, specifically for their boarding house at the historic Kingweston House, Street. Preserving the aesthetic of such a significant building required a sympathetic approach, blending traditional heritage techniques with the durability of modern materials.
Project Specifications & Craftsmanship
This extensive project was completed over two phases, ensuring the property's character remained intact while significantly upgrading performance:
-
Traditional Sash Design: We performed a major sash window replacement, meticulously designed with heritage in mind to match the original architecture of Kingweston House.
-
Authentic Mechanisms: To maintain the period feel, all windows feature traditional lead weights and a classic corded operation.
-
Premium Materials: The windows were constructed using high-quality hardwood, chosen for its longevity, strength, and classic finish.
-
Heritage Focus: Every detail was considered to ensure the new windows respected the historic nature of the school’s boarding house, providing a seamless transition from the old to the new.
Our work at Millfield School highlights our expertise in heritage joinery and our ability to handle large-scale, sensitive restoration projects across Somerset.
