Draught Proofing across Hertfordshire
If Draught Proofing in Hertfordshire were straightforward, there would be a stock size for it. The building stock is garden city stock, Georgian market town frontages and commuter-belt detached housing, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. With moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts in the mix, frost damage to end grain and swelling on unbalanced-finished units is a question of when rather than whether. What you are paying for is sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Send us sizes and a photograph and we will come back with a fixed written price.
A local consideration we always raise: garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes.

If the original timber is sound we keep it. It is cheaper and it is better.

Including telling you when a window is genuinely beyond saving.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Hertfordshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Hertfordshire including Watford, St Albans, Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage and the surrounding villages. Garden city areas carry design codes that restrict window style changes. Because moderate rainfall with cold inland frosts, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
