Double Hung Window Repair
Martin J. Sullivan
Member of London Guild
of Craftsmen and now permanently residing near Charleston, South Carolina.
With over 20 years of work, we have in excess of 50 written references. We would be delighted to show you all of them, but here are just a few.
Paraphrasing J. Jackson Walter, President of the National Trust for Historic Preservation in his Forward to The Elements of Style by Stephen Calloway and Elizabeth Cromley, "this home is the preeminent surviving example of Georgian Palladian architecture in the United States. ....built in 1742, the house has never been restored, it has been preserved....as George McDaniel, the director of Drayton Hall, puts it, his historic site is a 'small postage stamp of history', an intact survivor from a society of the past."
Now in the care of the National Trust, this house is so revered that airplanes are not allowed to fly directly overhead, but I was allowed to conduct certain repairs to the windows.
Written Reference.
Following several years of apprenticeship, formal training and after being master of my own shop for no less then 6 years, I was invited to apply.

This standard has taken many years of learning, a desire to perfect the craft and constantly seek improvement.
My work is in demand, and I try to be as accurate as possible by giving realistic start dates for projects.
I am not the cheapest, nor do I ever wish to be. There is a value for my work and I very much take pride in that I do not cut corners or take the easy and cheap option. We believe we are excellent value for money.
All business arrangements and estimates are done in writing and all work clearly explained.
My experience, references and guild membership represent a standard of
trust. They ensure the highest respect for your home, its contents
and consistently high quality craftsmanship.
I understand discretion and have worked for numerous
well-known personalities. Because I am often placed in a position of
intimacy, I fully respect and uphold confidentiality.
I have dual citizenship (England and Australia, plus USA permanent residency). I am therefore allowed to work in all
these countries as well as anywhere in the EEC, Caribbean, and
Canada.
Our workshops are maintained in three countries.
