Kensington, renowned for its refined elegance and grand architecture, is one of London’s most iconic neighbourhoods, where historic charm meets modern luxury. Among its tree lined streets and stately townhouses, many properties still showcase original sash windows and classic wooden doors that add to Kensington’s distinctive allure. These architectural details are central to the area’s timeless appeal, and preserving them is crucial for maintaining the character of Kensington’s period homes. Our team offers bespoke sash window and wooden door restoration and repair services designed specifically for properties in this prestigious area.
With years of expertise in handling period homes in Kensington, we understand the delicate care these traditional features require. Sash windows, known for their elegance and heritage, may develop issues with age, including draughts, rattling frames, and sticking sashes. We start each project with a thorough inspection, identifying problem areas to create a custom repair plan that preserves the original design of your windows while enhancing their functionality.
For minor repairs, we take care of essentials like re-cording, securing frames, and adjusting sashes to ensure a smooth, effortless operation. For windows that require more extensive restoration, we replace worn components with expertly crafted replicas that match the original materials, ensuring your sash windows maintain their historic beauty and gain improved durability. Our approach is to retain the character of your home while making it comfortable for modern living.
In addition, we provide discreet draught-proofing solutions to improve the energy efficiency of your home without compromising the classic aesthetic. Our draught-proofing services are designed to keep warmth inside and cold air out, all while preserving the original appearance of your sash windows and doors. These upgrades make a subtle but effective difference, offering modern comfort without altering the historic appeal of your property.

Each repair, restoration, and draught-proofing project is handled with meticulous attention to detail, ensuring we meet the highest standards.
