Builders in Faversham for period properties

Heritage joinery and lime work

Faversham homes range from Kent peg-tile cottages to Tudor merchant houses and Edwardian terraces. The older houses need lime mortar, oak frame repair and sash-window joinery, and we do all three with our own team rather than bringing in separate specialists.

One project that shows the range was a listed-building refurbishment on a Tudor merchant house, involving lime plastering and repairs to the oak frame.

Modern extensions too

Not every Faversham job is historic. We also build modern extensions on the town's Edwardian and later houses. Planning in the town is handled by Swale Borough Council, and the medieval centre is a conservation area.

Workshop joinery for Faversham cottages

Peg-tile cottages rarely have a straight wall or a standard-size opening, so replacement doors, window joinery and fitted cupboards are made to measure in our Biddenden workshop and brought over ready to scribe in. That keeps time on site short, which matters when the house is lived in during the work, and it means a new sash or panelled door can match the profile of the originals rather than being an off-the-shelf compromise.
