Waltham is a serene village nestled amidst the rolling hills of the North Downs, a place where tranquility and history meet. With origins that date back to Saxon times, Waltham has a rich heritage, evident in its collection of historic buildings that dot the landscape. The village is best known for its beautiful Grade II listed St. Bartholomew’s Church, a charming medieval structure that stands as a reminder of Waltham’s long and fascinating history. Many of the village’s homes, from cozy cottages to grander Georgian residences, feature traditional sash windows that add to their period charm. Our team specializes in the restoration and preservation of these sash windows, using traditional craftsmanship and high-quality materials to ensure they retain their original beauty. We start with a detailed assessment, addressing issues like draughts, rattling, or decaying wood, and provide tailored solutions that restore the windows to their former glory. For properties requiring more extensive restoration, we replace damaged components with carefully crafted replicas and install discreet draught-proofing systems that enhance energy efficiency while preserving the historic appearance of your windows. Our expertise ensures that Waltham’s homes continue to reflect the village’s heritage, preserving their charm and character for future generations.
