We’ve just completed a large-scale project in South East London (SE13), where we carried out 18 full sliding sash window replacements on a beautiful period property.
The original windows were no longer fit for purpose, with many suffering from rot, draughts, and broken mechanisms, so it was time for a complete upgrade.
Each new sash window was custom-built in our workshop, designed to match the original style while incorporating modern performance features like energy-efficient glazing and discreet draught-proofing. We used high-quality, sustainably sourced timber throughout, ensuring long-term durability without compromising on the building’s character.
The new windows were fitted with traditional cords and weights for smooth, authentic operation, and finished to a high standard both inside and out. The transformation is striking – the property now looks crisp, clean, and far more efficient.
This week’s project took us to Whitstable, where we installed a beautiful set of traditional sliding sash bay windows complete with new frames and restrictors for added safety. The customer went for a dual colour finish, choosing a soft pastel green on the exterior to complement the coastal feel, with a clean white interior to keep the inside bright.
We custom-built the timber sash windows and frames to match the property’s original character, ensuring they blended seamlessly with the existing architecture. The addition of sash restrictors provides extra peace of mind without affecting the smooth operation of the windows.
As always, the windows were fully draught-proofed and fitted with energy-efficient glazing, giving the home improved insulation and a fresh new look while keeping the classic style intact. Another satisfying job completed in Whitstable, combining craftsmanship with subtle modern touches.

This week, we were in Heer Mews, London, carrying out a detailed overhaul and draught proofing on an existing box sash window, along with some essential restoration work to keep it structurally sound and in line with conservation requirements.
The job began with a full sash overhaul, including balancing, oiling, and fitting new draught-proofing strips to improve energy efficiency and stop those cold draughts sneaking in. The original sill was beyond saving, so we carried out a complete replacement using hardwood, carefully matched and finished to suit the property’s style.
To reinforce the existing frame, we made a resin repair to stabilise a damaged section, sanding it back to a smooth finish before undercoating. We also used traditional conservation joints during the process to retain the window’s original character and stay compliant with local conservation standards.
The result? A beautifully restored sash window that works like new and is fully protected for the future. Working in London’s heritage areas is always a pleasure—if your windows need similar care, get in touch for expert sash repairs and conservation-grade joinery.
We’ve been carrying out a full round of sash window repairs in Ramsgate this week, working on a lovely period property that needed some expert attention. The job included a bit of everything – reglazing, sill repairs, putty work, overhauls, and draught proofing.
We started by removing the sashes and replacing cracked or misted panes, carefully reglazing each one with traditional putty for an authentic look. Several of the window sills had suffered weather damage, so we carried out repairs and splicing to strengthen them before sanding and sealing everything up.
Next came the overhaul and draught proofing, where we refitted the windows with new draught seals, adjusted the cords, and ensured everything was running smoothly. Once back in place, the windows not only looked refreshed but worked like a dream.

We’ve just completed a dormer casement window replacement in Tonbridge, where the original unit had been completely taken over by dry rot. The damage was too extensive for a repair, so we built a bespoke, like-for-like replacement to bring the dormer back to life.
Once the old frame was removed, we treated and resin repaired the surrounding area to make sure no rot remained. Then we fitted a new hardwood casement window, made to match the original style and dimensions, but with modern weatherproofing and glazing for added performance.
After sealing everything up, we finished off with fresh paint and new hardware, leaving the dormer looking sharp and ready to face the elements.

This week saw us in Whitstable for a mid-week job involving a mix of sash window overhauls, draught proofing, sill repairs, and one full window replacement. The property had a combination of tired sashes and one window that had deteriorated beyond repair, so we tackled everything in one go.
We started by removing the sashes that could be salvaged, giving them a full overhaul with new draught-proofing and a clean, smooth finish. A couple of the window sills were beginning to rot, so we carried out targeted sill repairs, cutting out the damaged sections and splicing in fresh timber before sanding and undercoating.
For the one window that was too far gone, we fitted a brand-new, like-for-like replacement, crafted to match the existing style of the house. Once everything was back in place, the windows were fully functional, weather-tight, and looking as good as new.

We’ve just finished a comprehensive 5 sash window restoration in Herne Bay, which included a full overhaul, reglazing, draught proofing, and replacement of the timber sills. The windows were letting in draughts and showing signs of rot around the sills, so we stepped in to bring them back to life.
After carefully removing the sashes, we tackled the failing sills—cutting out the old timber and fitting bespoke new hardwood sills, perfectly matched to the originals. The sashes were taken to the workshop for reglazing and minor repairs, then fitted with new draught-proofing strips for better insulation.

This week we’ve been in Margate, carrying out a project that involved fitting brand-new sash windows and replacing the old lintels above them. The original windows were beyond repair, and the existing lintels had started to show signs of failure, so it was time for a proper upgrade.
We began by removing the old sashes and carefully taking out the crumbling lintels. Once the openings were prepped, we installed new concrete lintels to ensure long-term structural support.

Each window was fitted with draught-proofing and energy-efficient glazing, and finished off with clean, sharp detailing. The result is a solid, smart-looking upgrade that keeps the traditional look intact while seriously improving durability and comfort.

Toward the end of this week, we’ve been working on a shed repair project in Deal, focusing on replacing the roof and improving weatherproofing to keep it protected against the elements. The existing roof had seen better days, with leaks starting to cause damage to the interior, so a full replacement was the best solution.
We started by removing the old, worn-out roofing material, checking the structure underneath for any signs of rot or weakness. Once everything was sound, we installed a brand-new, durable roof, designed to withstand the coastal weather. To fully weatherproof the shed, we sealed all joints, applied protective coatings, and ensured proper water runoff to prevent future issues.

This week, we’ve been busy in Margate, giving a beautiful set of bay sash windows a full overhaul and draught-proofing upgrade. These windows had seen better days, with gaps letting in cold air and some stiffness making them difficult to open. Our job was to restore them to full working order while improving insulation and efficiency.
We started by realigning the sashes, making sure they opened and closed smoothly without sticking. The next step was installing new draught-proofing strips, sealing any gaps while keeping the traditional look intact. Parting and staff beads were replaced, caulked, and finished neatly, and we filled any small imperfections to ensure a seamless result.
With the windows now properly sealed, we turned our attention to the timber repairs. Any damaged areas were carefully sanded, filled, and undercoated, ensuring long-term durability. The hardware was reinstalled, the glass given a thorough clean, and the frames wiped down to leave everything looking fresh and well-maintained.
