South Kent is a region of unparalleled beauty and historic significance, stretching from the serene coastline to the rolling hills of the Kent Downs. Known for its charming villages and towns like Hythe, Folkestone, and Tenterden, South Kent is home to a wealth of period properties that reflect centuries of English craftsmanship. Many of these homes feature original sash windows and traditional wooden doors, which are integral to their timeless appeal. Our team specialises in the restoration and maintenance of these features, ensuring they continue to define the character of South Kent’s architectural landscape.
With years of experience working on historic properties throughout South Kent, we understand the delicate balance required to preserve original features while improving their functionality for modern living. Sash windows, a hallmark of South Kent’s Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian homes, often face wear and tear over time, such as draughts, sticking frames, and rattling. We begin every project with a comprehensive inspection to assess specific needs, allowing us to create a bespoke repair plan that respects the original design while enhancing energy efficiency and usability.
Our services include everything from minor repairs and re-cording to full sash window replacements crafted to match the style and era of your home. We work with all types of sash windows, including single and double-hung designs, box sash windows, and more intricate styles like curved and arch-top windows. For homeowners seeking to modernise without sacrificing period charm, we provide double glazing and secondary glazing solutions that seamlessly integrate with traditional designs.
In addition to sash windows, we offer expert wooden door repair and replacement services. Whether restoring a worn original door or crafting a bespoke design, we ensure every detail complements the architectural heritage of your property. To further improve comfort and energy efficiency, our draught-proofing solutions are designed to seal gaps, reduce heat loss, and keep your home cosy, all while preserving its classic aesthetic.
South Kent’s towns and villages, from the historic streets of Rye to the coastal homes of Sandgate, showcase a rich architectural heritage that deserves to be preserved. Our commitment to quality craftsmanship and attention to detail ensures that each restoration, repair, and draught-proofing project meets the highest standards. By choosing our services, you’re investing in the long-term beauty and functionality of your home while maintaining the unique charm of South Kent’s historic properties.
