Draught Proofing across Gloucestershire
The hard part of Draught Proofing in Gloucestershire is not the making, it is the measuring. Around here it is Cotswold stone with stone-mullion openings and Regency Cheltenham terraces, and that alone rules out anything bought by the pallet. Add high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets to that and decay where timber sits directly against saturated stone reveals becomes the usual trigger for replacement. This is really a job about sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate.
We check on site before committing anything to the saw, and we query what does not add up. A quick call or a photograph of the opening is usually enough to get you a price.
One thing that catches people out here: Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Gloucestershire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Gloucestershire including Gloucester, Cheltenham, Stroud, Cirencester and the surrounding villages. Cotswold planning policy is strict on window proportion and glazing bar width. Because high rainfall on the escarpment with valley frost pockets, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Is the timber certified?
All our stock is FSC certified and chain-of-custody documentation is supplied with the order, which most main contractors and specifiers now require for their records.
What if the opening is out of square?
Most older openings are. The survey records the actual dimensions at several points and the unit is manufactured to suit, which is the main reason we survey rather than work from the sizes given over the phone.
How do you handle glazing?
Standard double glazed units for most work, and slim-cavity units where a conservation officer has restricted sightlines. Single glazing with putty lines is available where the consent requires it.
Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
