Case Studies

Housed within a Grade I listed 16th century

manor house, Bruce Castle Museum in Tottenham

contains local history collections and archives forthe Borough of Haringey.

Ventrolla London Commercial carried out the

work to renovate eight Victorian sash windows at

the property, which was originally the home of Sir

William Compton, a member of the court of Henry

VIII, and has served as a museum since 1906.

Ian Mathieson, Managing Director of Ventrolla

London Commercial, said: “The windows needed

renovating because they had been painted closed

and become unusable. There were also problemswith the window mechanisms, which were

rectified once we fitted new pulleys and weights.

Work was completed within a week and has

helped improve the functionality of the windows

without affecting the period splendour of this

landmark building.” 

Ventrolla London Commercial has put its skills on public display

by upgrading windows at an historic London museum.
