Caring for Hawkhurst's iconic white weatherboard cottages — where smuggling history meets timeless Kentish architecture.
Hawkhurst is famous throughout the High Weald for its striking white weatherboarded buildings. From the historic Moor to the charming cottages around Highgate, this village exemplifies the best of Kentish architectural tradition.
Sitting on the Kent-Sussex border, Hawkhurst's weatherboard properties face the full force of weather sweeping across the Weald. Our expertise ensures your boards are protected with breathable coatings that allow the timber to "breathe" whilst providing lasting protection.
From minor repairs to complete restoration, we handle all weatherboard work with the care your Wealden property deserves.
Expert repair of damaged boards, preserving the character of Hawkhurst's distinctive white-boarded properties.
Classic white and heritage colour finishes using breathable paint systems suited to older properties.
Understanding of local building traditions and conservation requirements for listed properties.
Where possible, we always recommend repairing original weatherboards rather than wholesale replacement. Original timber, often cut from local Wealden oak centuries ago, has a character and durability that modern materials struggle to match.
