Stratford, one of East London’s most dynamic districts, beautifully blends historic architecture with contemporary urban development. Once known for its Victorian terraces and industrial heritage, it now stands as a thriving area where period charm meets modern innovation. Many of its original homes still feature sash windows, wooden doors, and elegant joinery, each reflecting the timeless craftsmanship that defines traditional London housing. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we specialise in restoring and crafting bespoke joinery that preserves this architectural heritage while enhancing performance, security, and comfort for homeowners across Stratford.
Our experienced team has worked on properties throughout Stratford and neighbouring areas such as Forest Gate, Bow, and Leyton. Whether you own a Victorian townhouse on Romford Road, a Georgian-style terrace near Stratford Park, or a converted warehouse close to the Olympic Village, we provide tailored restoration and joinery solutions designed to complement your property’s character while improving energy efficiency and longevity.
Sash windows are an iconic feature of many Stratford homes. Their elegant proportions and smooth operation define the aesthetic of the area’s Victorian and Edwardian architecture. However, time and weather can take their toll, sashes may stick, cords break, and timber frames decay. Our sash window restoration service restores these historic windows to their original beauty and functionality.
We begin with a detailed on-site inspection to assess the condition of your windows. Our craftsmen then repair or replace damaged sections using sustainably sourced hardwoods such as Accoya or Red Grandis, chosen for their durability, strength, and resistance to rot. Each sash is re-corded, balanced, and fitted with fine brush seals to eliminate draughts and ensure effortless movement.
For homeowners seeking to modernise their windows while retaining period character, we also offer double-glazed sash replacements and secondary glazing. These upgrades provide superior insulation and soundproofing, perfect for Stratford’s busier streets, while maintaining the original appearance of your property’s façade.
A well-designed wooden door can transform the look and feel of your home. Stratford’s streets are lined with houses that feature ornate Victorian front doors, elegant Edwardian entrances, and classic panelled Georgian designs. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we create bespoke wooden doors that replicate or complement these historic styles, blending traditional aesthetics with modern security and durability.
Each door is handcrafted in our Kent workshop using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, ensuring lasting strength and precision. We design everything from Georgian six-panel doors and Victorian glazed entrances to cottage-style stable doors and elegant French doors that open onto patios or gardens. Homeowners can select from a range of finishes, colours, and ironmongery to match their property’s character.
We also offer door restoration services, repairing frames, panels, and finishes to bring tired or weathered doors back to life. Whether you’re restoring an original entrance near Maryland Station or replacing a modern door with a period-style timber one, our craftsmanship ensures a perfect blend of elegance and performance.
Stratford’s older homes often lose heat through original sash windows and doors. Our draught proofing service offers a simple yet highly effective solution that makes your home warmer, quieter, and more efficient without changing its appearance.
We fit fine brush seals within the window and door frames to block draughts, reduce noise, and prevent rattling. This subtle enhancement can dramatically improve comfort, especially in Victorian and Edwardian homes with single glazing. For additional thermal protection, we also install secondary glazing, providing an extra layer of insulation that helps retain warmth during London’s colder months.
These upgrades are ideal for listed buildings or homes in conservation areas, allowing you to enjoy modern energy performance while preserving the property’s historic aesthetic.
At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we combine the timeless techniques of traditional joinery with the benefits of modern materials and technology. Every piece of joinery is handmade by skilled craftsmen who understand how to maintain authenticity while improving performance.
We use premium timbers such as Accoya and Red Grandis, known for their sustainability, dimensional stability, and exceptional lifespan. Each window and door is finished with breathable protective coatings that safeguard against moisture, UV rays, and London’s changing climate. This careful approach ensures that your joinery remains beautiful and durable for decades.
Our work reflects the perfect balance between old and new, preserving the soul of traditional design while meeting the demands of modern living.
We offer our full range of joinery and restoration services throughout Stratford and surrounding areas including Bow, Leyton, Hackney, and Forest Gate. From full sash window overhauls and frame restorations to bespoke timber door design and installation, we approach each project with precision, care, and respect for the building’s history.
Our team has worked on everything from listed townhouses and Victorian terraces to newer developments designed in classic styles. Whether your project involves restoring delicate original features or creating bespoke joinery from scratch, we tailor every aspect of our work to suit your home.
As a family-run business, we believe in clear communication, honest advice, and exceptional workmanship. From your first consultation to the final installation, we ensure a smooth process and outstanding results that reflect our passion for traditional joinery.
Sustainability is a cornerstone of our practice. We always aim to repair wherever possible, preserving original materials and reducing waste. When replacement is necessary, we use responsibly sourced timber and eco-friendly coatings that protect the wood while minimising environmental impact.
Accoya, one of our most trusted timbers, is a prime example of modern sustainable craftsmanship. With a lifespan of up to 50 years above ground, it offers unmatched resistance to rot, stability, and low maintenance, making it ideal for London’s fluctuating weather conditions.
By choosing our sustainable joinery, Stratford homeowners can enjoy traditional beauty with a clear conscience, knowing their windows and doors are built to last and environmentally responsible.
