Kennington is a historic neighbourhood brimming with charm and character, where period homes and leafy streets create a timeless appeal. Nestled in South London, it boasts a rich architectural heritage, with many properties featuring elegant sash windows and traditional wooden doors. These features are a cornerstone of Kennington’s unique identity, reflecting its past while adding sophistication to its homes. Our team specialises in restoring and maintaining these period details, ensuring they remain integral to the area’s charm.
With years of experience working on Kennington’s period properties, we understand the delicate balance between preserving original features and enhancing modern functionality. Sash windows, often found in the area’s Georgian and Victorian homes, offer a blend of elegance and practicality but can suffer from issues like draughts, sticking sashes, and worn cords. We begin every project with a comprehensive inspection, allowing us to create a bespoke repair plan that respects the original design while improving performance and comfort.
Our services range from minor repairs, such as re-cording and frame adjustments, to full sash window replacements crafted to match the original style. We work with various window designs, including single and double-hung sash windows, box sash windows, and bespoke shapes like curved or arch-top windows. For those seeking greater energy efficiency, we provide double glazing and secondary glazing solutions that seamlessly integrate with traditional aesthetics.
Kennington’s homes also feature beautiful wooden doors that add to the area’s historic charm. We offer expert repair and replacement services, ensuring each door complements your property’s style while providing durability and security. Our draught-proofing solutions further enhance comfort, sealing gaps and reducing heat loss while preserving the period look of your windows and doors.
From the elegant squares to the quiet residential streets, Kennington’s architecture reflects its rich history and unique character. By investing in the restoration and care of your sash windows and wooden doors, you’re not just maintaining your property—you’re preserving a piece of Kennington’s heritage.
If your Kennington home features original sash windows or traditional wooden doors, we’d be delighted to assist you. Contact us today to discuss our bespoke repair, restoration, and draught-proofing services, and let us help you maintain and enhance the timeless beauty of your Kennington property.
