Why was Hillside Farm in need of window replacement?

This handsome Georgian-style red brick property in rural Derbyshire was suffering from aging, draughty windows. The original large sash and casement units were rotting and no longer fit for purpose.

Homeowner Simon Westbury wanted to preserve the timeless charm of the house while improving comfort and efficiency. He turned to Gowercroft for a solution that could deliver traditional aesthetics with modern performance.

What timber windows and doors were installed?

The Gowercroft team replaced nearly all of the windows and doors across the property. Products came from our Classic Range, designed to replicate heritage styling while exceeding today’s performance standards.

We installed a combination of:

  • Hardwick Flush Casement Windows
  • Chatsworth Sliding Sash Windows
  • Single and double doors in complementary styles

Each unit was manufactured from a mix of Accoya and engineered Red Grandis, two timbers chosen for their long life, resistance to warping, and excellent paint retention.

To complement the period features, all products were finished in Strutt Yellow, giving the home a warm, unified appearance.

What did the customer say?

Exceptionally good guarantees
