What we do and how we do it
Ask three firms about Draught Proofing in the UK and you will get three different answers. With a mix of period and modern stock making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. Because of the full range of UK exposure conditions, we see coating failure followed by rot at the joints more often here than in most of the country. What you are paying for is sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate.
A surveyor visits first and records the real dimensions, at several points on each opening. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
A detail specific to this area: specification should always be matched to local exposure.
Specification
- Engineered hardwood or slow-grown softwood, FSC certified
- Factory-applied microporous finish in any RAL or heritage colour
- Sealed units, slim-cavity units or single glazing with putty line
- Manufactured to survey dimensions, not to a stock size chart
- Delivered UK-wide with chain-of-custody paperwork
Repair before replace
If the original timber is sound we keep it. It is cheaper and it is better.
Draughts and rattle gone

Frequently asked questions
Can you work on a listed building?
Yes, and a significant share of our work is listed or conservation area. We can supply drawings and section details to support a listed building consent or planning application, though the consent itself remains the owner's responsibility.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
Can you match an existing profile?
Yes. If you can supply a section, a photograph with a rule in shot, or an old unit, we can replicate the profile. For conservation work this is usually the condition the planning officer will apply.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
Do you deliver nationwide?
Yes, we deliver across England, Wales and Scotland. Delivery is priced into the quotation so there is no separate charge added later.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
What guarantee do you provide?
Ten years on workmanship, covering manufacture and the factory-applied finish. Where we install, the installation is covered too. It is issued in writing with the handover paperwork.
