Teynham, a village with a long-standing connection to Kent’s renowned fruit-growing industry, has a history that dates back to the time of King Henry VIII. Once known as the “Garden of England,” Teynham played a pivotal role in the establishment of the country’s first commercial orchards, and its legacy is still evident in the surrounding landscape today. The village is home to a variety of period properties, many of which retain their original sash windows, a feature that is integral to their historic character. Our team is passionate about preserving the beauty and heritage of Teynham’s sash windows through expert restoration and repair services. We use traditional techniques and high-quality materials to address issues such as draughts, rattling, or rot, ensuring that each window is restored to its original beauty and functionality. For properties requiring more extensive work, we offer a complete restoration service that includes replacing damaged components with authentic replicas and installing bespoke draught-proofing solutions that enhance comfort while preserving the window’s historic appearance. By choosing us to care for your sash windows, you help maintain the unique charm and character of Teynham’s historic properties, ensuring that the village continues to reflect its proud heritage.

Teynham is a characterful Kent village set between Sittingbourne and Faversham, surrounded by apple orchards and farmland that reflect its rich agricultural history. The village is dotted with charming cottages, Georgian townhouses, and period farm buildings that capture the timeless essence of rural Kent. Many of these properties still feature original sash windows, wooden doors, and traditional joinery that deserve expert care to preserve their beauty and authenticity. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we specialise in restoring, repairing, and crafting bespoke timber joinery for homes across Teynham and the surrounding area, blending historic charm with modern comfort and performance.
Our team has extensive experience working on period and listed properties throughout Kent, and we bring that same level of care and precision to every project in Teynham. Whether you live in a weatherboarded cottage on the A2, a converted farmhouse near Deerton Street, or a newer home that draws inspiration from traditional design, we offer tailor-made joinery solutions that enhance your property’s character while improving energy efficiency and durability.
Teynham’s older homes often feature classic timber sash windows that contribute greatly to their historic appeal. These elegant windows were designed to maximise light and ventilation, yet after years of exposure to the elements, they can begin to deteriorate. Our sash window restoration service brings them back to life, combining time-honoured craftsmanship with subtle modern upgrades.
Each project begins with a detailed assessment to determine whether the windows can be repaired or if new joinery is required. We repair or replicate frames, sills, and sashes using sustainable timbers such as Accoya or Red Grandis, ensuring long-lasting strength and stability. Every sash is re-corded, balanced, and fitted with discreet brush seals to prevent rattling and stop draughts. For homeowners who want improved thermal efficiency, we offer double-glazed sash replacements and secondary glazing. These options maintain your home’s original charm while making it warmer, quieter, and more energy efficient.
A finely crafted wooden door is not only a functional necessity but also an expression of your home’s character. Many houses in Teynham still feature traditional panelled doors or decorative entrances that reflect the architectural styles of the Georgian and Victorian eras. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we design and handcraft bespoke wooden doors that replicate these classic details while offering the benefits of modern security and insulation.
Each door is made to measure in our Kent workshop using traditional mortise and tenon joinery. We work with a range of durable and sustainable hardwoods to ensure every door is built to stand the test of time. Whether you’re looking for a grand six-panel Georgian entrance door, a rustic stable door for a farmhouse, or French doors that open onto your garden, we tailor every detail to your property and preferences.
We also restore existing doors, repairing damaged panels, replacing locks and hinges, and refinishing the surface with high-quality coatings that protect the timber from moisture and sunlight. The result is a door that looks timeless, operates smoothly, and offers lasting strength against the elements.
Older properties in Teynham are renowned for their charm but can lose heat through original timber windows and doors. Our draught proofing service is a simple yet highly effective solution to improve comfort and reduce energy costs without altering the building’s appearance.
We install fine brush seals around window and door frames to eliminate draughts while allowing for smooth operation. This prevents rattling, reduces outside noise, and helps maintain a consistent indoor temperature. When paired with secondary glazing, it offers a dramatic improvement in warmth and energy efficiency — particularly beneficial for listed or conservation-area properties in the Teynham area where changes to the exterior must be minimal.
At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we pride ourselves on blending traditional craftsmanship with the precision and reliability of modern materials. Every window, door, and bespoke joinery item we create is made with the same care and attention to detail that have defined British joinery for centuries.
We use only high-quality, sustainable timbers that are chosen for their performance and longevity. Accoya, in particular, is one of our preferred materials because of its exceptional resistance to rot and warping, making it ideal for Kent’s varied climate. Each piece of joinery is hand-finished with breathable protective coatings, allowing the timber to naturally adjust to humidity and temperature changes while maintaining its elegant appearance for years to come.
Our dedication to precision ensures that the finished product not only fits perfectly but also enhances your home’s architectural character.
We provide our full range of joinery and restoration services throughout Teynham and the nearby villages, including Lynsted, Deerton Street, Conyer, and Faversham. From repairing historic sash windows and doors to creating completely new bespoke joinery, our team brings the same level of craftsmanship and attention to every job.
We understand that each property has its own story and set of challenges, which is why we offer a fully personalised service. Whether your home requires minor repairs or a full window replacement, we tailor our work to preserve its unique features and character.
Our reputation in Teynham and across Kent has been built on trust, communication, and an unwavering commitment to quality. We take great pride in our craftsmanship, ensuring every project is completed to the highest standard while staying true to the property’s original design.
Sustainability lies at the heart of our approach. Wherever possible, we focus on repairing and restoring existing joinery rather than replacing it entirely. This approach not only preserves original craftsmanship but also reduces waste and environmental impact.
When new timber is required, we use responsibly sourced materials from sustainable forests and apply environmentally friendly coatings that extend the life of the wood. Accoya, one of our preferred timbers, has a lifespan of up to 50 years above ground, making it one of the most durable and eco-friendly options available.
By choosing our sustainable joinery services, homeowners in Teynham can enjoy beautifully crafted woodwork that will last for generations while supporting environmentally responsible practices.
