Traditional Sash Windows - East Sussex

Eastbourne, a refined seaside town on the East Sussex coast, is renowned for its elegant Victorian architecture, sweeping promenade, and sheltered location beneath the dramatic chalk cliffs of Beachy Head. Much of the town’s character is defined by its period buildings, from grand seafront hotels and crescents of stucco-fronted houses to charming terraced streets with intricate sash windows and traditional wooden doors. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we specialise in the restoration, repair, and preservation of these architectural features, ensuring they remain true to their original appearance while performing efficiently. Our skilled team addresses common issues such as draughts, rattles, decayed timber, and poor insulation, using time-honoured joinery methods and premium materials. For more extensive projects, we provide full restoration services, including the precise reproduction of damaged components and the discreet installation of draught-proofing systems to improve thermal performance without altering the historic look of your home. Our dedication to craftsmanship and authenticity helps to safeguard Eastbourne’s architectural heritage for generations to come.

Eastbourne, celebrated for its timeless seaside elegance, is home to an impressive collection of Victorian, Edwardian, and Georgian architecture. Many of these properties, from the striking terraces of the Meads area to the picturesque cottages of Old Town, retain their original sash windows and handcrafted wooden doors, features that contribute to the unique charm and identity of the town.

At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we are passionate about helping Eastbourne homeowners protect and enhance these original details. Our expertise covers sash window restoration, repairs, and bespoke replacements, ensuring each project balances historic authenticity with modern energy efficiency. Whether you live in a grand seafront villa, a period terraced house, or a heritage-listed building, we tailor our services to respect and complement your property’s architectural style.

Our draught-proofing solutions offer an effective way to eliminate cold air, reduce rattles, and prevent sticking sashes while maintaining your home’s period look. We also specialise in double glazing and secondary glazing for sash windows, which improve insulation and soundproofing discreetly, perfect for Eastbourne’s coastal climate.

We also restore and craft bespoke wooden doors, from faithful reproductions of original Victorian front doors to custom designs that provide security, durability, and visual appeal. Every piece is built with care, precision, and high-quality materials to ensure it enhances your home’s kerb appeal and stands the test of time.

With its award-winning seafront, the historic Pier, and cultural landmarks such as the Towner Art Gallery and Devonshire Park Theatre, Eastbourne blends heritage with vibrant community life.
