Preferred Joinery is proud to have played a part in the transformation of one of Liverpool’s most talked-about developments — the Wreckfish Hotel on Seel Street. Set in the heart of the city’s creative quarter and flanked by the famous Jürgen Klopp mural, this boutique hotel has quickly become a striking feature in the local landscape for its quality craftsmanship and seamless integration. For this project, our team was tasked with delivering a key component of the building’s refurbishment: the creation and installation of custom-made timber sash windows, designed to reflect its heritage while improving its every-day efficiency.
Preserving Character with Purpose-Built Sash Windows
The project called for a careful balance of old and new. The original building, steeped in architectural heritage, demanded windows that could honour its character, whilst also meeting modern day standards for performance and sustainability. Working to a bespoke specification, we designed and crafted timber sash windows that blend traditional aesthetics with subtle modern enhancements.
Each window was built by hand, using time-honoured joinery methods combined with high-performance materials. This approach allowed us to stay faithful to the original design of the property while introducing improvements in insulation, durability, and ease of maintenance. The result is a series of elegant, well-proportioned sash windows that transform the façade, preserve the building’s historic appeal, and contribute to its long-term viability.
A priority for the Wreckfish Hotel team was ensuring that installation would proceed smoothly and without interfering with the wider refurbishment schedule. Our experienced joiners coordinated closely with architects, developers, and contractors throughout, ensuring that each phase was executed with precision and care.
For the windows, we incorporated energy-efficient glazing and modern sealing methods, which enhance thermal efficiency and help protect the interior from the elements — without compromising the classic look of the frames.
