Traditional Sash Windows And Carpentry

West London is an area that perfectly balances historic architecture with modern living. From the elegant Georgian terraces of Kensington and the tree-lined streets of Chiswick to the Victorian homes of Ealing and the period mansions in Richmond, the region is full of beautiful properties that showcase centuries of design and craftsmanship. Many of these homes still retain their original sash windows and wooden doors, features that define their charm and character. At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, we specialise in restoring, repairing, and crafting bespoke joinery that preserves the essence of these period homes while enhancing comfort, performance, and efficiency.

Our skilled craftsmen have worked extensively across West London, from Notting Hill and Shepherd’s Bush to Hammersmith and Acton. Whether you own a listed townhouse, a converted flat, or a modern home designed with heritage style, we provide expert joinery solutions that respect the architectural history of the area while meeting today’s standards.

Restoring West London’s Period Sash Windows

Sash windows are a hallmark of West London’s grand period homes, contributing both elegance and functionality. Over time, however, they can deteriorate due to age, pollution, and daily use. Timber decay, broken cords, and draughts are all common issues. Our sash window restoration service is designed to address these problems while retaining your property’s original charm.

We begin with a detailed inspection before removing any decayed timber and replacing it with sustainable hardwoods such as Accoya or Red Grandis. Each sash is re-corded, balanced, and fitted with discreet brush seals to prevent draughts and rattles. For homeowners seeking improved insulation and noise reduction, we also offer double-glazed sash replacements and secondary glazing. These upgrades maintain the classic proportions of your windows while bringing them in line with modern performance standards. Every restoration is completed with precision, ensuring your sash windows continue to look elegant and operate smoothly.

Bespoke Wooden Doors for Character and Security

A beautifully made wooden door can transform the appearance of your home. In West London, many period properties still have their original timber doors, which give them a sense of character and individuality. However, after decades of exposure to weather and wear, these doors can begin to warp, crack, or lose their fit. Our team designs and builds bespoke wooden doors that combine traditional aesthetics with modern security and durability.

Each door is handmade in our Kent workshop using sustainable timber and traditional mortise and tenon joinery for strength and precision. We can recreate heritage designs such as Edwardian or Georgian front doors or produce contemporary versions that complement your home’s architecture. We also restore existing doors, repairing frames, refinishing surfaces, and adding weatherproof seals to ensure they perform perfectly in London’s ever-changing climate. Every door we produce is made to measure, providing both beauty and longevity.

Draught Proofing and Energy Efficiency Solutions

Older homes in West London are often full of character but can lose heat through their original windows and doors. Our draught-proofing service is an affordable and effective way to improve comfort and efficiency while preserving your home’s historic features. We install slim brush seals into the frames of sash windows and doors, creating a tight seal that prevents cold air from entering and warm air escaping.

This process reduces energy consumption, lowers heating costs, and makes your home more comfortable all year round. It also helps to reduce noise pollution, which is particularly beneficial in busier areas like Hammersmith or Shepherd’s Bush. Draught proofing can be carried out during a full window overhaul or as a standalone service, offering immediate results without altering the property’s appearance.

Traditional Craftsmanship with Modern Performance

At Traditional Sash Windows and Carpentry, our work is built on a foundation of time-honoured craftsmanship and modern innovation. Every window or door we make or restore is constructed using classic mortise and tenon joints to ensure maximum strength and stability. Our joiners are highly experienced in working with period properties, understanding the details that make them unique.

We use premium materials such as Accoya, a timber that offers exceptional resistance to moisture and decay, making it ideal for London’s variable weather. Each project is finished using high-performance coatings that protect the wood while allowing it to breathe naturally. The result is joinery that looks traditional but performs to modern standards of comfort, efficiency, and durability.

We work throughout West London, covering Kensington, Chiswick, Ealing, Hammersmith, Acton, Shepherd’s Bush, and beyond.

Sustainability and Long-Term Value

Sustainability is central to everything we do.

By investing in high-quality, sustainable materials and traditional techniques, you gain joinery that not only looks beautiful but also lasts for decades. Our work represents an investment in your home’s future—enhancing its appearance, energy efficiency, and overall value.

Preserving West London’s Architectural Heritage
