Twickenham is one of South West London’s most picturesque riverside towns, known for its elegant Georgian and Victorian homes, tree-lined streets, and strong sense of heritage. From the classic townhouses along the Thames to Edwardian terraces and converted villas, the area showcases some of London’s finest period architecture. Many of these homes feature original sash windows and handcrafted wooden doors that define their traditional beauty. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we specialise in restoring, repairing, and crafting bespoke joinery that preserves the historic charm of these properties while enhancing comfort, performance, and security.
Our experienced team has carried out joinery work across Twickenham and nearby areas such as St Margarets, Teddington, and Richmond. Whether your property is a listed riverside townhouse, a Victorian terrace, or a modern home inspired by traditional design, we provide expert craftsmanship tailored to suit its character.
Sash windows are one of Twickenham’s most recognisable architectural features. Their slim timber frames, delicate glazing bars, and balanced design contribute to the elegance of the town’s homes. However, after decades of exposure to London’s weather, these beautiful windows can suffer from draughts, sticking sashes, and decaying timber. Our sash window restoration service is designed to restore them to full working order while maintaining their original charm.
We begin with a detailed inspection before carefully repairing or replacing damaged timber using sustainable hardwoods such as Accoya or Red Grandis. Each sash is re-corded, balanced, and fitted with fine brush seals to eliminate draughts and ensure smooth operation. For improved insulation and soundproofing, we offer double-glazed sash replacements and secondary glazing, allowing you to enjoy modern comfort without compromising your home’s traditional appearance. Every restoration is completed with precision and respect for the property’s architectural integrity.
A beautifully crafted wooden door makes a lasting impression and adds character to your property. Many Twickenham homes still feature their original timber doors, complete with panelled designs, stained glass, and traditional ironmongery. Our bespoke wooden doors are designed to replicate these timeless details or introduce a modern twist that blends seamlessly with your home’s style.
Each door is made to measure in our Kent workshop using traditional mortise and tenon joinery, a technique that ensures strength and long-term durability. We can create classic Georgian or Victorian front doors, elegant French doors, or rustic stable doors depending on your home’s design. We also offer restoration services, repairing existing doors, upgrading locks, and refinishing surfaces with protective coatings that resist moisture and sunlight. Every door is crafted with care to deliver security, insulation, and aesthetic appeal.
Twickenham’s period homes are full of charm, but they can also be less energy efficient than modern properties. Our draught-proofing service offers an effective way to make your home warmer and quieter while maintaining its heritage appearance. We install discreet brush seals within the window or door frames to block cold air and prevent heat loss, creating a more comfortable indoor environment all year round.
This upgrade not only reduces heating bills but also helps with noise reduction, particularly beneficial for homes near Twickenham Green, Richmond Road, or the riverside. Draught proofing can be completed as part of a full sash overhaul or as a standalone service. When paired with secondary glazing, it significantly improves insulation while preserving your property’s traditional features.
At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we take pride in combining time-honoured joinery techniques with modern materials and precision. Every item we create or restore is built using classic mortise and tenon joints, ensuring structural integrity and lasting strength. Our team of craftsmen has extensive experience working on listed and heritage properties throughout South West London, delivering projects that meet the highest standards of quality.
We use premium timbers such as Accoya and Red Grandis, chosen for their stability, sustainability, and resistance to decay. Each piece of joinery is hand-finished with protective coatings that allow the wood to breathe while safeguarding it from moisture and UV damage. The result is elegant, hardwearing joinery that complements Twickenham’s historic architecture and performs beautifully for decades.
We provide our complete range of joinery and restoration services throughout Twickenham and nearby areas including St Margarets, Teddington, and Richmond. Each of these areas features homes with distinct architectural character, from Georgian townhouses and Edwardian semis to 1930s family homes. Whether you require sash window repairs, bespoke wooden doors, or a complete joinery restoration, we tailor every project to suit the property’s design, materials, and period.
As a family-run company, we pride ourselves on honesty, communication, and attention to detail. From your first consultation through to final installation, we work closely with you to ensure every aspect of the project meets your expectations. Our reputation is built on reliability, precision, and a genuine passion for craftsmanship.
Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. We always prioritise restoration over replacement to preserve original joinery and reduce waste. When new materials are required, we use timber sourced from responsibly managed forests, ensuring that our work supports long-term environmental responsibility.
Accoya, one of our most trusted timbers, is a sustainably produced wood with remarkable durability and resistance to rot. Its stability and long lifespan make it an excellent choice for joinery in Twickenham’s varied climate. By combining sustainable materials with traditional joinery craftsmanship, we produce windows and doors that are both environmentally friendly and designed to last for generations.
Twickenham’s architecture reflects centuries of craftsmanship, with influences from Georgian, Victorian, and Edwardian periods. Maintaining these historic features requires specialist knowledge and care. Our team has extensive experience working within conservation guidelines, ensuring all restoration and replacement work respects the area’s heritage and meets local planning requirements.
We can replicate traditional mouldings, glazing bars, and profiles to match your existing joinery precisely. Whether restoring a listed Georgian townhouse, upgrading a Victorian terrace, or fitting new joinery in a modern home inspired by period style, we approach every project with precision and respect for architectural history.
