Case Studies
Ventrolla South East carefully repaired the sash
windows at Downs and St Luke’s Junior Schools.
With 573 pupils, St Luke's Infant and Junior
School is a striking building in St Luke's Terrace,
located in the Queen's Park area of Brighton. It
was built in 1903 and designed by prestigious
local architect for the Brighton and Preston School
Board, Thomas Simpson.
Downs Junior School, on Ditchling Road, has 501
pupils. The school was built in 1890
and sits within a conservation area.
Ventrolla South East was specified by NPS
Property Consultants Group due to its vast
experience in providing professional and long
term solutions to the problems associated with
weathering and ageing of this classic style
of window.
The project at St Luke’s included removing four
plastic arch sections and replacing with timber to
be in keeping with the character and style of the
Grade ll listed building, a task which demanded
skilled craftsmanship and expertise.
Ventrolla South East has successfully renovated and upgraded 60
sash windows in two Brighton junior schools.

The work at St Luke’s involved 35 windows, 34 of
w hi ch r eq ui red new s il ls and 2 0 needed
replacement sashes. At Downs Junior, there were
25 windows with 22 replacement sills and five
new sashes. Where the wood was beyond repair,
the replacement work was carried out so the
windows match the original design to retain the
appearance of the historic buildings.
Sales Director for Ventrolla South East, Jim Neale,
said: “There were issues with the operation of the
windows in both schools, with some of the top
sashes having been painted shut, which were
rectified as part of the service.
A traditional sash window requires a minimum
3mm gap around the sashes, which can cause
draughts, dust ingress, rattling and increased
noise levels from outside. However, after
installing our patented Ventrolla Perimeter
Sealing System these problems have been
eradicated and the sliding action of the windows
is now incredibly smooth.”
With its national headquarters in Harrogate,
North Yorkshire, Ventrolla operates via a network
of regional offices.
