Warehorne is a small, picturesque village on the edge of Romney Marsh in Kent, known for its historic charm, timber-framed cottages, and scenic countryside views. With its traditional homes, quiet lanes, and a real sense of rural character, Warehorne represents the kind of English village that still treasures craftsmanship and authenticity. Many of its older properties retain original timber sash windows and wooden doors that form a vital part of their charm. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we specialise in restoring, repairing, and handcrafting joinery that enhances these period features while improving performance, comfort, and energy efficiency.
Our team has worked on homes throughout Warehorne and surrounding areas such as Hamstreet, Kenardington, and Woodchurch, helping to preserve local architectural heritage through skilled restoration and bespoke joinery. Whether you own a Grade II listed cottage, a Georgian farmhouse, or a converted barn, we deliver exceptional craftsmanship tailored to the unique needs of your property.
Sash windows are one of the most distinctive features of the homes in and around Warehorne. They bring elegance, balance, and character to the architecture, but after years of exposure to wind and rain, many need professional attention. Our sash window restoration service is designed to breathe new life into your existing windows, ensuring they continue to function smoothly while retaining their original beauty.
We begin by carefully assessing the condition of the windows before carrying out precise repairs. Any decayed timber is replaced using sustainably sourced hardwoods such as Accoya or Red Grandis, ensuring durability and longevity. We re-cord, balance, and install discreet brush seals to eliminate draughts and improve performance. For homeowners looking to improve insulation, we also provide double-glazed sash replacements and secondary glazing, which maintain the traditional design while offering modern comfort and energy savings.
A well-crafted wooden door can completely transform the appearance of your home. In Warehorne, many properties still feature traditional front doors that are full of character but may have suffered from years of exposure to the elements. Our team creates bespoke wooden doors that capture the charm of original joinery while offering superior strength, insulation, and weather resistance.
Each door is made to measure in our Kent workshop using responsibly sourced timber and traditional mortise and tenon joinery for lasting strength. We can recreate period styles such as Georgian panelled doors or Victorian designs, or craft stable doors and French doors that suit rural cottages and farmhouses. We also restore existing doors, repairing frames, renewing finishes, and upgrading locks and hinges. Every piece is carefully hand-finished to ensure it fits perfectly and complements your property’s character.
Warehorne’s traditional homes are beautiful but can sometimes lose warmth through small gaps around windows and doors. Our draught-proofing service offers an effective and discreet way to improve energy efficiency without changing the property’s appearance. We fit fine brush seals within the frames of sash windows and doors, creating a subtle barrier that blocks cold air and retains heat.
This upgrade can make a noticeable difference to your home’s comfort, helping to reduce heating bills and noise while keeping rooms cosy throughout the colder months. Draught proofing can be carried out during a full restoration or as a standalone service. When paired with secondary glazing, it provides excellent insulation while preserving the authentic look of your home.
At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we blend traditional woodworking skills with modern precision. Every window and door we create or restore is made using classic mortise and tenon joints, a method renowned for its strength and longevity. Our craftsmen have decades of experience working on heritage properties, meaning each project is handled with meticulous care and respect for the building’s original design.
We use premium timbers such as Accoya and Red Grandis, which are stable, sustainable, and resistant to rot and warping. Each piece of joinery is finished using high-quality coatings that protect against moisture, UV damage, and wear, ensuring long-lasting results. By combining traditional joinery with advanced materials, we produce windows and doors that not only look authentic but also perform exceptionally well.
We offer our full range of joinery and restoration services throughout Warehorne and nearby villages including Hamstreet, Kenardington, Tenterden, and Woodchurch. Each of these locations is home to a rich variety of period architecture, from historic cottages to Georgian manors and converted barns. Our approach is always tailored to suit the style and character of the property, ensuring a perfect match between craftsmanship and heritage.
As a family-run business, we take pride in delivering a personal, honest, and professional service. From your initial consultation to the final installation, we maintain clear communication and attention to detail at every stage. Our goal is to provide work that enhances both the comfort and the beauty of your home, preserving its history for future generations.
Sustainability is a cornerstone of our work. We always prioritise repair over replacement wherever possible, preserving original joinery and reducing waste. When new joinery is required, we use responsibly sourced timber that meets strict environmental standards.
Accoya, one of our preferred materials, is an innovative and sustainable choice. It offers exceptional durability, dimensional stability, and resistance to rot, making it ideal for external joinery in Kent’s variable climate. With proper care, it can last for decades with minimal maintenance. By choosing our sustainable approach, homeowners in Warehorne can enjoy beautiful, long-lasting joinery that’s as eco-friendly as it is elegant.
Warehorne’s historic buildings reflect centuries of craftsmanship, from timber-framed cottages to Georgian and Victorian homes that tell the story of Kent’s rural heritage. Maintaining these properties requires a sensitive approach, and our team is experienced in working with listed and conservation-area homes. We take great care to replicate original details such as mouldings, glazing bars, and sash profiles, ensuring the finished work blends seamlessly with the existing architecture.
Our aim is to preserve the authentic look and feel of your home while improving comfort and performance. Whether restoring a single sash window or creating bespoke joinery for a full renovation, we deliver results that honour the past while meeting modern expectations.
