Traditional Sash Windows And Carpentry

Higham, a historic village in the Medway region of Kent, is renowned for its charming rural setting, rich heritage, and connections to Charles Dickens, who once lived nearby at Gads Hill Place. The village features a variety of period properties, including Georgian townhouses, Victorian terraces, and traditional Kentish cottages, many of which retain their original sash windows and wooden doors—key architectural elements that contribute to the timeless character of Higham’s homes.

At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we specialise in restoring and enhancing the historic features of Higham’s period properties. Our expert services include sash window restoration, repairs, and bespoke replacements, ensuring these architectural elements retain their original charm while meeting modern energy efficiency and functionality standards. Whether your home boasts classic box sash windows, intricate Georgian designs, or elegant Victorian styles, our craftsmanship is tailored to preserve its unique heritage.

For homeowners in Higham, our draught-proofing services provide an effective solution to eliminate cold draughts, rattling sashes, and sticking frames, enhancing comfort and energy efficiency while maintaining the traditional look of your windows. For those seeking modern improvements, we also offer double glazing and secondary glazing options, blending improved insulation and soundproofing with the preservation of period aesthetics.

Wooden doors, another hallmark of Higham’s historic properties, are expertly restored or replaced by our skilled craftsmen. Whether revitalising an original door or crafting a bespoke replacement, we ensure durability, security, and seamless architectural harmony with your home’s style.

Higham’s charm extends beyond its homes, with landmarks such as Gads Hill Place, St. Mary’s Church, and the scenic marshlands along the River Thames adding to its historic and picturesque appeal.
