Sash window repair in Rochester & Medway
Georgian High Street property, cathedral-precinct listed buildings and Medway Victorian terraces — repaired, draught-proofed and restored.
We repair and restore sash windows across Rochester, Chatham, Strood and Gillingham. Rochester has an unusual concentration of listed Georgian property, and most of what we are asked to look at there needs careful repair rather than anything replaced. Draught-proofing £280 + VAT, cords £250 + VAT, full restoration £1,280 + VAT.
Period windows in Rochester
Rochester High Street and the streets behind it hold some of the oldest window joinery we work on — thick Georgian sections, small panes, and in places the original glass and horns. Further out into the Medway towns it is mostly Victorian and Edwardian terrace with box sashes that have been painted shut or had the cords go. Both are repairs, and both are priced from the same published list.

Frequently asked questions
Do you work on listed buildings in Rochester?
Regularly. Repair and like-for-like restoration is normally what a conservation officer wants to see, and we supply the specification if you need consent for anything more.
Can Georgian sashes take double glazing?
Sometimes, but the sections are thin and the conservation position is usually against it. Secondary glazing gives you the insulation without altering the window.
Do you cover Chatham and Gillingham?
Yes, and Strood, Rainham and the Hoo peninsula. No travel charge.
