Sleaford Eastgate Almshouses (Formerly Carres Hospital)

A wonderful stone building built in 1830 by Architect H E Kendall on the site of the original 17^th Centruy almshouse founded by Robert Carre in 1636.



Legado Joinery along with Carre Heritage were employed to undertake window replacement to the entirety of the property in a phased manner. The windows themselves were manufactured to match the existing dimensions and pattern but with modern slimline double glazed units fitted to help with increased energy and noise performance. They are manufactured out of Sapele hardwood which will ensure they last for many years to come.

Each of the flats had tenants which meant that we had to work in a timely and efficient manner ensuring that the property was left fully secure after each days work, so it was a case of 1 old window out and 1 new window in at a time. We hope the tenants feel the benefits of the solid, thermally efficient windows!
