Old windows stick in their frames, let in draughts and slowly pull the character out of a period home. We design, make and fit hardwood windows that put all three right. Every frame is cut and assembled by our own craftsmen at our Kent workshop, then installed by our own fitters rather than a subcontracted team. Book a free consultation and we will come out and measure up at your Tunbridge Wells property.
Tunbridge Wells has a great deal of Georgian, Victorian and Edwardian housing, much of it sitting inside conservation areas. Replacement windows here have to respect what was there originally, down to the sightlines, glazing bars and opening style. We have spent over 30 years making windows for homes like these across Kent, Surrey and London. We also deal with planning officers, building control and listed building consent on your behalf.
Box Sash Windows – Vertically sliding sashes running on a traditional cord, weight and pulley system, built to move smoothly and seal tightly against draughts.
Casement Windows – Side hung and top hung frames in a range of opening configurations, well suited to cottages, terraces and most period frontages.
Flush Casement Windows – Sashes that sit level with the face of the frame for a clean, historically accurate look that sits comfortably in conservation areas.
Stormproof Windows – An overlapping sash profile that throws rainwater clear of the frame, a sensible choice for exposed or west facing elevations.
Can timber windows be fitted in a conservation area?
In most cases, yes, provided the design closely follows what was there before. We prepare the drawings and handle the planning or listed building consent process for you.
Are timber windows as warm as uPVC?
Yes. Timber is naturally insulating, and paired with modern double glazed units our windows meet current building regulations for thermal performance.
How often will the paintwork need attention?
Our finishes are applied in controlled workshop conditions, which makes them far more durable than brush painting on site. A light recoat every few years keeps them looking new.
Will the new windows look like the originals?
We can copy existing profiles, glazing bar patterns and sightlines, so the replacements read as original from the street while working properly from the inside.
Do you replace single windows or only whole houses?
We take on both. Plenty of our customers do one elevation at a time and spread the work across a couple of years.
