Traditional Sash Windows And Carpentry

Stratford, with its unique blend of Victorian terraces and bold modern regeneration, is one of East London’s most dynamic and evolving areas. While much of the attention in recent years has focused on new developments around the Olympic Park and Westfield, many of Stratford’s streets, particularly to the south and east, still feature beautiful period properties with original sash windows and traditional wooden doors. These architectural details remain a key part of Stratford’s identity and deserve to be carefully preserved, even as the area continues to grow.

At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we provide specialist sash window and timber door repairs, restorations, and draught-proofing services across Stratford and the surrounding neighbourhoods. Whether you own a Victorian home near Stratford Park, an Edwardian terrace off Romford Road, or a period flat within a converted property, our skilled craftsmen are here to help you maintain your home’s heritage features with care and precision.

Sash windows are a defining feature of Stratford’s older homes, but like all traditional joinery, they require ongoing maintenance to keep them in working order. Stuck sashes, broken cords, loose panes, draughts, and rotting timber are all common issues we address. We begin each job with a thorough survey and then create a tailored plan to restore your windows or doors to their former glory,while subtly improving their performance for modern living.

We carry out a wide range of work, including re-cording, easing stiff sashes, replacing damaged timber sections, and full sash window refurbishments. If necessary, we can craft bespoke joinery components to match the original design, ensuring your property retains its authentic look. We often work with durable timbers like Accoya, offering long-lasting results that respect the traditional style of your home.

We also provide high-quality draught-proofing, which is particularly beneficial for Stratford’s older homes where insulation can be lacking. Our discreet sealing techniques help keep your home warm, reduce outside noise, and increase energy efficiency—all without affecting the appearance or movement of your sash windows and doors.

Whether you're restoring features in a long-standing family home or upgrading original joinery in a recently purchased renovation project, our focus is always on preserving character while delivering practical improvements. We understand the unique architectural heritage found in parts of Stratford and take pride in helping homeowners care for and protect these valuable features.

If you’re in Stratford and your home features original sash windows or timber doors that need expert restoration or repair, we’d be delighted to assist. Contact us today to learn more about our bespoke services—and let us help you preserve the character, value, and comfort of your property in one of East London’s most historic and exciting districts.
