“Restorative decoration requires both skill & patience, and Rick Thorpe has this in abundance. In working with Rick, the detail and expertise required to restore our Yorkshire Sliding Sash Windows on our Grade 2 listed property provides us with high value and ongoing integrity. We would thoroughly recommend Rick Thorpe…”

“We both just wanted to say thank you for the fantastic restoration job you have done on our windows and doors, they look wonderful”

“RICK DELIVERS. He does what he says he’ll do every time. From the first contact about a possible quote through to clearing up at the end of the job, I was confident that the result was going to be a good one. Rick has transformed three really desperately rotten windows in my cottage to look pretty much like new (two tiny, very old windows that needed a lot of delicate handling). I am a very happy customer and so glad I chose restoration over replacement.”

“Rick has repaired a dry stone wall and fully renovated large Coach House and Cart shed doors to a very high standard. It is a pleasure to have Rick at our property and he is returning to repair some original wooden sliding windows.”
