New timber windows and doors transform 1950s Cambridge home
Just look at the difference
Dolly and Chris knew they’d found a gem when they purchased this spacious 1950s detached home.
Even though it needed some TLC, they saw the potential.
New windows and doors were a priority, but even they were surprised at how much our installation transformed the look of their property.
They had been recommended to The Burgess Group, so they asked Edward for help finding a beautiful, functional solution. He brought along colour swatches and samples and created the ideal designs with Dolly and Chris.
Dolly & Chris added: “We initially met with a local window manufacturer and looked at some timber windows they’d installed. But having done my research, I just wasn’t sure about some of the finer details.
“I was then told about The Burgess Group and met Edward. His company is not the cheapest, but we felt you should go with the very best you can afford. Once the windows are in and paid for, you don’t think about the price.
“I really wanted the colour to be right. There are so many variants of white, and we needed to be sure it would feel cosy and warm. The ability to colour match to RAL and Farrow & Ball colours was a huge benefit, and we settled for Farrow & Ball Wimborne White.
“We think The Burgess Group is marvellous. Installation was very smooth, and although the glass had a couple of flaws, the affected glazing units were replaced without any hassle.”
