West Kent is a part of the country where the house often tells you its history before you reach the front door. A jettied timber-framed cottage on Edenbridge High Street, a Decimus Burton villa in Tunbridge Wells, a converted oast near East Peckham and a 1930s semi in Tonbridge can all sit within a short drive of each other, and each one needs a different answer when the windows and doors are due for replacement. Inspired Glazing supplies and fits aluminium windows, aluminium sliding and bifold doors, UPVC windows and doors and composite front doors across Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Edenbridge, Westerham and the villages around them.
Where we work in west Kent
We concentrate on the western side of the county, where the M25 and the A21 make the journey practical. Each of the main towns has its own page with local detail:
- Sevenoaks, with Riverhead, Otford, Kemsing, Seal and Sevenoaks Weald
- Tonbridge, with Hildenborough, Hadlow, Leigh and East Peckham
- Tunbridge Wells, with Southborough, Rusthall, Pembury and Langton Green
We also take on work in Edenbridge and Westerham in the far west of Sevenoaks District, and in and around Maidstone. If you live between these places and are not sure whether you are in range, ring us and we will tell you straight.
How we get to you
We do not have a Kent office. Our workshop is at Coningsby Farm in Fifield, just outside Windsor, and that is where your frames are made. From there, Sevenoaks is roughly 50 miles and about an hour by road via the M4 and M25, with Tonbridge and Tunbridge Wells a further 15 to 20 minutes down the A21. Rush hour on the M25 can stretch that considerably, so we plan surveys and installation days to start early or avoid the worst of the traffic. The same fitting team that measures and builds the job comes out to install it.
Two National Landscapes, two very different settings
Much of west Kent sits inside protected countryside, and that shapes what homeowners can and cannot change. The Kent Downs National Landscape follows the chalk of the North Downs across the north of the area, taking in places such as Kemsing on the scarp face and the hills around Westerham, and it also includes the Greensand Ridge to the south of the chalk. To the south, the High Weald National Landscape covers more than 70 per cent of Tunbridge Wells borough, a landscape of small fields, ancient woodland and scattered farmsteads that is often described as one of the best-preserved medieval landscapes in northern Europe.
National Landscape status does not ban new windows, but it does mean councils look harder at changes that alter how a building appears, particularly on listed buildings and in conservation areas. We always suggest you check with the relevant council before you commit to a design: Sevenoaks District Council, Tonbridge and Malling Borough Council, Tunbridge Wells Borough Council or Maidstone Borough Council.
Kentish buildings and what suits them
Timber-framed and Wealden houses
The Wealden hall house, a medieval timber-framed home with a recessed central hall between jettied end bays, is most common in Kent and East Sussex. Edenbridge’s historic core is largely 15th and 16th-century timber framing, often with tile-hung first floors added later. These homes are frequently listed, and Listed Building Consent is needed to change the form of their windows. We will tell you honestly when a job is better suited to a specialist joiner.
Weatherboarding and tile hanging
White-painted weatherboarding is a familiar Kent feature, often alongside clay tile hanging. On unlisted weatherboarded cottages, a slim aluminium frame in a soft white, cream or green can sit comfortably against the boards, and a Classic or Ferro style profile helps keep the glazing proportions traditional.
Oast conversions
Oast houses were built to dry hops, and many redundant ones have been turned into homes. The round and square kilns make for awkward, deep-set openings, and the barns attached to them often suit wide glazed doors. Large sliding panels and bespoke window shapes are where our in-house fabrication helps most.
Victorian, Edwardian and post-war homes
Railway towns such as Tonbridge and Sevenoaks grew with the commuter lines, so there are plenty of Victorian terraces, Edwardian villas and inter-war and post-war family houses. These are often the simplest homes to upgrade, and the choice between aluminium and UPVC usually comes down to budget, sightlines and the look you want.
Our main products for Kent homes
- Aluminium windows. Our core window is the Reynaers SlimLine 68, alongside Cortizo and Alunet systems. Reynaers lists SlimLine 68 with ultra-slim outward-opening sightlines and PAS 24 and Secured by Design ratings (Reynaers SlimLine 68). See aluminium windows in Kent and our SL68 guide.
- UPVC windows. A practical, lower-maintenance choice for many newer homes, using Advance 70. See UPVC windows in Kent.
- Sliding doors. The Reynaers ConceptPatio 130 lift-and-slide door, with a zero-threshold option. See aluminium sliding doors.
- Bifold doors. Smart Visofold and Cortizo systems. See aluminium bifold doors.
- Front doors. Composite doors in a range of colours and styles. See composite doors.
Why a fabricator-installer makes sense this far from base
Because we build our aluminium frames at our own workshop, we can check every size before the van sets off, which matters when the job is an hour away. We are a listed Reynaers at Home installer partner and hold Constructionline Silver. Our guarantee lasts 10 years, and typical lead times are from 10 days. You can see finished work on our case studies page.

If you are close to the county border, we also have pages for windows and doors in Surrey and windows and doors in Sussex.

Frequently asked questions
Do you have an office or showroom in Kent?
No. Our workshop is at Coningsby Farm in Fifield, near Windsor, where we make our aluminium frames. We travel to west Kent for surveys and installations, which is roughly 50 miles to Sevenoaks via the M4 and M25.
Can I replace windows in the Kent Downs or High Weald National Landscape?
Usually yes, but the setting matters. National Landscape status means councils look carefully at changes to how a building looks, especially if it is listed or in a conservation area. Check with your council, whether Sevenoaks, Tonbridge and Malling, Tunbridge Wells or Maidstone, before you commit. We can supply drawings and product details to support any application.
Are aluminium windows suitable for an oast house conversion?
Often they are a good fit. Oast conversions tend to have deep, unusual openings and wide barn apertures that suit slim aluminium frames and large sliding doors. Because we fabricate in our own workshop, we can make bespoke shapes and sizes. If the oast is listed, Listed Building Consent will be needed, so check with your council first.
How much do new windows cost in Kent?
It depends on the number of windows, sizes, opening styles, glass and colour, plus access at your property. As a guide, our prices start from £400, but the only reliable figure comes from a survey. We give a written, itemised quote after measuring, and the survey itself is free with no obligation to go ahead.
Which towns in Kent do you cover?
We focus on west Kent: Sevenoaks, Tonbridge, Tunbridge Wells, Maidstone, Edenbridge and Westerham, along with nearby villages such as Riverhead, Otford, Kemsing, Hildenborough, Hadlow, Southborough, Pembury and Langton Green. If you are elsewhere in the county, call 01753 965 005 and we will tell you honestly whether we can help.
