Handyman in West Wickham: local knowledge
West Wickham's 1930s semis are well-built properties with generous room sizes, but many still have their original timber windows with putty that has completely dried out and cracked away from the glass. This allows rainwater to run down behind the glass and into the timber frame, causing rot that starts at the bottom rail and works upward. The internal fittings in many properties are also original or date from the 1980s and 1990s and are now due for updating.

Pro tip for West Wickham homeowners
Check the putty on your West Wickham 1930s windows from the outside every year. If it has cracked and pulled away from the glass, water is getting behind it and sitting on the bottom rail. Re-puttying is a straightforward job that protects the timber frame from rot. Once the bottom rail rots through, the repair becomes much more involved and expensive because the whole sash or casement needs to be partly rebuilt.
Property maintenance in West Wickham: what we typically see
West Wickham is a quiet residential area of mostly 1930s semis and detached houses. The streets are wide and tree-lined with front and rear gardens. It is a typical inter-war London suburb where the housing is solid but ageing. We regularly carry out maintenance work on 1930s semi-detached houses, 1930s detached houses, post-war housing, and bungalows across BR4.
The most common maintenance jobs in West Wickham include bay window lead flashing failing on 1930s semis and boilers from the early 2000s now needing replacement. Older properties tend to need more ongoing upkeep, from sticking doors and draughty windows to cracked plaster and worn-out kitchen fittings. We handle the full range of general repairs and improvements.
For landlords, property maintenance between tenancies is critical for keeping the property in good condition and attracting quality tenants. We provide complete between-tenancy services including repairs, painting touch-ups, deep cleaning coordination, and snagging work across West Wickham.

My West Wickham 1930s house still has the original timber windows. Is it worth repairing them or should I switch to uPVC?
The original windows in 1930s West Wickham semis are typically well-made from slow-grown softwood that is denser and more durable than most modern timber. As long as the frames are structurally sound, repairing and overhauling them is usually the better option. We cut out any rotten sections and splice in new timber, re-putty all the panes, fit new draught seals, and repaint. This is typically 40-50% of the cost of uPVC replacement and preserves the character of the house. If you want improved thermal performance, we can fit slim double-glazed units into the existing frames.
