Client Testimonial
To whom it may concern,
We are the proprietors of Knocklyon Castle, a 15th C. tower house. The house originally a 'Ten Pound Castle', has been occupied during most of the intervening period and was deemed a 'Protected Structure' in 1999. The present front fenestration dates from the mid 19th century and required extensive restoration, conservation and draught proofing of the twelve sliding sash windows and frame, also two sliding sash windows to the rear and draught proofing/repair to six inward opening turret windows. The work was carried out by Messrs. Historic Sash Windows Ltd., Cellbridge, Co. Kildare. We are pleased to confirm that the work was implemented with meticulous care and a high level of skill in refurbishing the original joinery. We believe that the efficient and sensitive nature of the restoration work by Messrs. Historic Sash Windows Ltd has contributed to the appearance and security of this historic work.

Client Testimonial
To whom it may concern,
I have worked with Ritchie Millea and the Historic Sash Window Company Ltd for several years now and would have absolutely no hesitation in recommending them whatsoever.
We have worked on the following houses:
60 Merrion Square, Dublin 2
12 Herbert Place, Dublin 2
7 Herbert Street, Dublin 2
13 Newgrove Avenue, Dublin 4
3 Sandymount Avenue, Dublin 4
Partry House, Partry, Co. Mayo
I have always found Ritchie and his team hard working, honourable and trustworthy. If there ever has been any issue arising after the job has been completed it has been taken care off at the earliest opportunity. Window restoration seems to attract plenty of low quality/cost operators who tend to leave your building in worse condition after the job has been 'completed'. Ritchie Millea is certainly not one of these and his draughtproofing system and attention to conservation detail is second to none.

Project: Conservation & Maintenance Good Practice
Conservation & Maintenace good practice requires the inclusion of Preventative Maintenance in any schedule of repairs.
These measures are designed to achieve four main objectives
Objective 1: to prevent or drastically reduce the incidence of wood decay by preventing moisture ingress
Objective 2: to stabilise or reduce the expansion and contraction (movement) of timber components, particularly in lower sash joints
Objective 3: to enhance the durability of the protective coating
Objective 4: to prolong the life of curative joinery repair
