Tatsfield, a small village perched on the borders of Surrey and Kent, is celebrated for its rural charm and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. Dating back to the Domesday Book, Tatsfield has a long history intertwined with agriculture and trade. Many of the village’s older properties are adorned with traditional sash windows, which have stood the test of time, adding to the village’s quaint and timeless aesthetic. Our team is dedicated to preserving this architectural heritage through meticulous repair and restoration. We start by conducting a comprehensive assessment of each sash window to identify areas of concern, such as warped frames, rattles, or broken sashes. For properties that require more extensive work, we employ traditional joinery techniques and use materials that match the historical specifications of the original construction. Our draught-proofing solutions also enhance the energy efficiency of your home while maintaining the traditional look of your windows. By choosing our services, you help keep the historical charm of Tatsfield’s properties intact, ensuring that these architectural gems continue to grace the village for generations to come.
We pride ourselves on offering free, expert advice to all our clients. We believe that informed decisions lead to the best results, so we take the time to understand your project, discuss options, and ensure you have all the information necessary to make the best choices. You can trust us to deliver honest, expert advice without any obligation.
We are proud to operate a local workshop. Being local allows us to maintain strict quality control of our sash windows, offer personalised service, and ensure timely completion of work. It also means we are easily accessible for consultations and support, providing our clients with the confidence that they are working with a nearby team dedicated to their satisfaction.
Tatsfield is a picturesque village perched on the North Downs, right on the border between Kent and Surrey. With its peaceful rural charm, winding country lanes, and a mix of period cottages and elegant detached homes, Tatsfield is a place where traditional architecture meets countryside tranquillity. Many properties in and around the village still feature original sash windows, wooden doors, and classic timber joinery that reflect the area’s heritage and character. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we take pride in helping Tatsfield homeowners preserve this charm through careful restoration, bespoke craftsmanship, and sustainable joinery solutions designed to last for generations.
Our team has extensive experience working on heritage and character homes across Tatsfield and nearby areas including Westerham, Limpsfield, and Biggin Hill. Whether your property is a Victorian cottage on Approach Road, a Georgian-style home overlooking the village green, or a converted farmhouse surrounded by open countryside, we provide specialist joinery services that maintain authenticity while improving comfort, security, and performance.
Sash windows are a defining feature of many older properties across Tatsfield and the surrounding countryside. Their slim timber profiles and elegant proportions give homes a timeless appeal, but after decades of exposure to wind and rain, these windows often need professional attention. Our sash window restoration service is designed to breathe new life into these beautiful architectural features while preserving their period character.
We start with a detailed assessment of each window to identify any decay or structural issues. Our craftsmen then repair or replace damaged timber using Accoya or Red Grandis, sustainable hardwoods chosen for their longevity and stability. Each window is re-corded, balanced, and fitted with high-quality brush seals to prevent draughts and ensure smooth operation. For improved insulation and soundproofing, we also offer double-glazed sash replacements and secondary glazing, allowing homeowners to enjoy modern efficiency without compromising traditional aesthetics.
This approach is ideal for Tatsfield’s older homes and listed buildings, where maintaining the original design and proportions is essential to preserve the property’s historic integrity.
A bespoke wooden door is one of the most striking ways to enhance a property’s kerb appeal, and in Tatsfield, many homes feature traditional entrance doors that have stood for generations. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we design, craft, and restore wooden doors that perfectly complement both period and modern homes.
Every door is handmade in our Kent workshop using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, ensuring long-lasting strength and precise craftsmanship. We produce everything from Georgian panelled doors and Victorian glazed designs to stable doors for cottages and French doors opening to gardens or terraces. Each piece is made to measure and finished with premium hardware, secure locks, and weather-resistant coatings to protect against the changing seasons.
We also offer door restoration services, repairing or refinishing existing doors to retain their original charm. Whether you wish to restore a painted front door on Lusted Hall Lane or create a new timber door for a contemporary home overlooking the Downs, our bespoke designs offer beauty, practicality, and lasting durability.
Older homes in Tatsfield are full of charm but can be prone to draughts and heat loss. Our draught proofing service is one of the most effective and discreet ways to make your home more energy efficient without altering its original character.
We install fine brush seals around sash windows and doors to prevent cold air from entering and warm air from escaping. This subtle upgrade also reduces noise, stops windows from rattling, and enhances comfort throughout the year. When paired with secondary glazing, the results can be transformative, creating a warmer and quieter living space while maintaining your home’s historic appearance.
Draught proofing can be carried out as part of a full window overhaul or as a standalone service, making it a cost-effective option for improving performance while preserving traditional aesthetics.
At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we combine the artistry of traditional joinery with the precision of modern materials and techniques. Every item we produce is built by skilled craftsmen who understand the importance of detail, proportion, and finish.
Our preferred timbers — including Accoya and Red Grandis — are sustainably sourced and renowned for their durability, stability, and resistance to rot. Each piece of joinery is hand-finished using breathable coatings that allow the timber to expand and contract naturally while protecting it from moisture and UV exposure. This ensures that your sash windows and wooden doors not only look authentic but also perform exceptionally well for decades.
Our approach blends the best of old and new, allowing homeowners in Tatsfield to enjoy the timeless elegance of handcrafted joinery with the comfort and reliability of modern performance.
We proudly provide our full range of joinery and restoration services across Tatsfield and nearby towns and villages, including Limpsfield, Westerham, Oxted, and Biggin Hill. From repairing original sash windows to crafting bespoke joinery for new builds inspired by traditional design, our work always reflects the unique character of the area.
Every project begins with a detailed consultation to understand your property’s architecture and your personal preferences. Whether you need sash window repairs, a new set of French doors, or a complete restoration of your timber joinery, we tailor every aspect of our service to meet your needs.
As a family-run business, we take pride in offering a personal and reliable experience from start to finish. Our reputation across Kent, Surrey, and South London has been built on trust, transparency, and high-quality workmanship.
Sustainability is central to everything we do. We always aim to repair rather than replace, preserving original craftsmanship and reducing waste. When new joinery is required, we use responsibly sourced timber and eco-friendly coatings that extend the life of the wood while minimising environmental impact.
Accoya is one of our most popular materials thanks to its remarkable stability and 50-year lifespan above ground. This makes it an ideal choice for the varied weather conditions of the North Downs. Its resistance to moisture and decay ensures that our joinery remains strong and attractive for decades, combining traditional beauty with sustainable performance.
Tatsfield’s architecture captures the essence of Kent and Surrey’s rural heritage, with many homes built using natural materials such as brick, oak, and weatherboard. Maintaining these traditional features requires expert joinery that respects original proportions, profiles, and finishes.
Our team has extensive experience working on listed buildings and properties within conservation areas, ensuring all restoration work complies with heritage standards. We carefully match existing details such as glazing bars, horn shapes, and mouldings to create seamless results that honour your property’s history.
Whether restoring a sash window in a 19th-century farmhouse or replacing doors on a Georgian-style residence, we work with precision and care to protect the architectural identity of your home and the wider village landscape.
