Sash windows & timber doors in Kensington
Detailed repair and bespoke joinery for Kensington’s period windows and doors.
Local building context
The property tells you what details matter.
Kensington properties can include grand vertically proportioned sashes, stucco fronts, mansion flats and carefully detailed entrance doors. Small changes to profiles can be visually obvious.
That variety is why Stile works opening by opening. Two neighbouring houses can have completely different repair histories, frame condition and glazing.
Common problems in Kensington
What the first survey needs to separate.
Fine mouldings damaged by repeated poor repairs
Large sashes that are difficult to balance
Decorative doors with local decay
Glazing upgrades where sightlines must remain considered
Relevant services
Likely starting points for Kensington homes.
These are useful routes to compare, not a diagnosis of your property.
Restoration
Joinery repair, preparation, servicing and redecoration for windows that need more than a quick fix.
Double-glazed retrofit
If the original box frame remains sound, complete window replacement may not be necessary. New made-to-measure hardwood sashes with slim double glazing can often be fitted into the existing frame, improving performance while retaining more of the original joinery.
Bespoke timber doors
Made-to-measure hardwood front, French and glazed doors, with repair retained as an option for sound originals.
