We repair and restore sash windows across Tonbridge, Hildenborough and the villages towards Tunbridge Wells. Much of the housing here is solid late-Victorian and Edwardian with large bay sashes, and the common faults are perished cords, dropped sashes and sills that have taken thirty years of standing water. Draught-proofing £280 + VAT, cords £250 + VAT, full restoration £1,280 + VAT.
Period windows in Tonbridge
Tonbridge’s Victorian and Edwardian houses tend to have wide, heavy bay sashes — the kind that are awkward to lift and quick to jam when the cords stretch. We take the sashes out, re-cord and re-balance them, repair the rails and sills where water has sat, and draught-proof the whole window so the bay stops being the coldest part of the room.

Frequently asked questions
One sash in my bay has dropped and will not stay up — is that expensive?
No. That is cords and re-balancing, £250 + VAT for that window, and it takes about half a day.
Can you do all the windows in stages?
Yes. We quote per window, so you can do the worst rooms first and the rest later at the same prices.
Do you cover Tunbridge Wells and Sevenoaks?
Yes — both have their own pages, and there is no travel charge anywhere in Kent.
