Traditional Sash Windows - East Sussex

Brighton and Hove, a vibrant coastal city on the south coast of East Sussex, is celebrated for its blend of Regency elegance, Victorian grandeur, and modern seaside charm. From the iconic Brighton Pavilion to the sweeping crescents of white-stucco townhouses, the city boasts an architectural legacy that is both diverse and historically significant. Many of Brighton and Hove’s period properties retain their original sash windows, which contribute greatly to the distinctive character of its seafront terraces and leafy suburban streets. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we specialise in the meticulous restoration and preservation of these windows, ensuring they remain functional, draught-free, and true to their original design. Our services address common issues such as rattling, decaying timber, and heat loss, using traditional joinery methods and premium materials. For properties requiring more extensive work, we offer complete restoration solutions, including the replacement of damaged sections with exact-match replicas and the installation of discreet draught-proofing systems to improve energy efficiency without altering the property’s historic appearance. Our commitment to craftsmanship ensures that the timeless charm of Brighton and Hove’s architecture is preserved for future generations.

Brighton and Hove, one of the UK’s most distinctive and lively cities, is famed for its eclectic mix of architecture, from grand Regency terraces and Victorian villas to Arts and Crafts houses and Edwardian bay-fronted homes. Many of these properties still feature original sash windows and traditional wooden doors, which are a key part of their period charm and architectural identity.

At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we are dedicated to restoring, repairing, and enhancing the historic features of Brighton and Hove’s buildings.
