Ventrolla Sets Out Its Stall As Market Leader In Window Renovation With Prestigious Smithfield Market Redevelopment

Sash window renovation specialists, Ventrolla, have reaffirmed their position as market-leaders in window upgrading, with their involvement in a prestigious project to convert a Grade II listed market hall in Manchester, into luxury apartments.

The project is part of the £7.5 million Northern Quarter redevelopment in Manchester that will ultimately provide an impressive complex of apartments, shops, bars, offices and a hotel.

Led by Design & Build contractors, Eric Wright Construction Limited, the project encompasses the refurbishment and conversion of the Smithfield listed building into new high quality apartments, as well as the new build of one four storey and another five storey building. A total of 87 new apartments in the three blocks will be provided.

Ventrolla, who, for over 20 years, have specialised in renovating and improving traditional sash windows, repaired and upgraded 42 existing sash windows, together with six original curved casement windows in the Smithfield building. Their work entailed removing and reglazing damaged glass, repairing rotten timber, refitting sash cords, and easing sashes. In addition, Ventrolla installed its patented Perimeter Sealing System to eliminate draughts and rattles and improve window performance.

The window-upgrading project was carried out by Ventrolla Lancashire, a regional arm of Ventrolla, which has 25 offices throughout the UK and Ireland. Richard Ellis, who owns and manages Ventrolla Lancashire, commented: “It is a privilege to be involved in a project of this nature, which requires all our typical skills in improving the performance of original windows to optimise comfort, whilst retaining the architectural integrity of an important historic building.”
