Stunning Victorian Villa of Immense Charm — Helensburgh

This beautiful Victorian villa, dating back to the 1850s and located in the heart of Helensburgh, recently underwent a full restoration of its original timber sash windows. The homeowners were determined to preserve the rich heritage and architectural detail of the property, whilst ensuring the windows were fully operational, energy-efficient and built to last for generations to come.

Full restoration and draught-proofing of original 1850s timber sash and case windows

MWM Matt Window Mate carried out extensive specialist restoration work to resolve the common issues associated with older wooden windows, including rattles, draughts and operational difficulties — transforming them into smooth-running, high-performing windows without compromising any historical character.

A professional draught-proofing system was installed, significantly reducing external noise and improving thermal performance. This upgrade will contribute to lower energy bills and provide the homeowners with a much more comfortable environment — especially during the colder months.

The windows were completed with a subtle contemporary twist, finished in Farrow & Ball’s elegant “Wimborne White”, complementing the light soft interiors and enhancing the timeless Victorian detailing.

“We are absolutely delighted with all aspects of the work carried out by Matt and his team. From his initial comprehensive and prompt quote, right through to ensuring every window operated smoothly and fully, he was professional, knowledgeable and the work was carried out to a very high standard. At all times he and his team treated our home with respect and us with courtesy, and we would have no hesitation in recommending him to other clients.”

It was a privilege to work on this charming period property. The homeowners can now look forward to many years of trouble-free use — and a draught-free winter.

At MWM Matt Window Mate, we believe traditional timber windows are a beautiful asset to our built environment, and we are dedicated to keeping them looking and performing at their very best. We are passionate about the difference real wood craftsmanship can make to your home.
