Traditional Sash Windows And Carpentry

Chilham is a quintessential Kent village with its stunning Tudor and Jacobean architecture, is one of the most picturesque and historic places in the area. The village is known for its timeless appeal, with charming cottages and period homes that often feature original sash windows and traditional wooden doors. These elements are essential to the character of Chilham, contributing to its storybook charm and historic value. Preserving these architectural features is crucial to maintaining Chilham’s heritage, and our team is here to provide specialised sash window and wooden door restoration and repair services tailored to the needs of these unique properties.

With extensive experience working in historic areas like Chilham, our team understands the careful craftsmanship required to restore and maintain period features. Sash windows, which are often a central aspect of local homes, bring elegance and authenticity but can encounter issues over time, such as draughts, rattling frames, or worn cords. Our restoration process begins with a detailed inspection to pinpoint any issues, enabling us to create a custom repair plan that respects the original design and enhances functionality.

For minor repairs, we address specific concerns like re-cording, frame tightening, and easing sashes that may have become difficult to operate. For windows that need more extensive restoration, we carefully replace worn or damaged components with replicas crafted to match the original design, ensuring your sash windows maintain their historic integrity while offering improved durability and ease of use. Our approach is always to preserve the authentic charm of your home while making practical improvements.

Additionally, we offer discreet draught-proofing solutions that enhance the comfort of your home without compromising the appearance of your sash windows and doors. By sealing gaps, our draught-proofing methods help reduce heat loss and prevent cold air from entering, making your home more energy-efficient while retaining its classic appeal. These upgrades allow you to enjoy a warmer, cosier home with improved insulation, perfect for Chilham’s historic homes.
