Sash window repair in Folkestone
Victorian and Edwardian seafront houses, Leas-area terraces and Creative Quarter properties — repaired, draught-proofed and restored with published prices.
We repair and restore sash windows across Folkestone, from the tall Victorian terraces around the Leas to the Edwardian houses off Sandgate Road. Coastal exposure means paint fails early and water sits in the bottom joints, so we splice in new timber rather than fill it. Draught-proofing £280 + VAT, cords £250 + VAT, full restoration £1,280 + VAT.
Period windows in Folkestone
Folkestone has some of the biggest sashes we work on — tall Victorian windows in three- and four-storey terraces, often with the original glass still in them. Big sashes are heavy, so the cords and pulleys take a beating and the windows drop or jam long before the joinery has anything wrong with it. Re-cording and re-balancing a window like that transforms how it feels for £250 + VAT.
- Tall Victorian sashes re-corded and re-balanced
- Rotted bottom rails and sills spliced in new timber
- Original glass kept wherever it survives
- Coastal paint systems that last on exposed elevations
- Conservation-area properties around the Bayle and the Leas

Frequently asked questions
My sashes are enormous and very heavy — can they be fixed?
Yes, and that size of window is exactly what the weight-and-pulley system was designed for. The usual fix is new cords sized to the sash and weights re-matched so it holds anywhere you leave it.
Do you cover Hythe and Sandgate?
Yes, and the villages behind them. No travel charge.
Can you do the painting as well?
We prepare and paint the windows we work on as part of the job. We do not take on general house painting.
