Draught Proofing across Northumberland
Draught Proofing in Northumberland rewards patience at the setting-out stage. With border stone farmhouses, colliery terraces and coastal fishing cottages making up much of the area, off-the-shelf sizes rarely line up. the harshest combination of cold, wind and salt in England sets the pace of decay, and combined frost and salt damage stripping finishes within a few seasons is how it shows up first. The detail we will not compromise on 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. We will price it properly in writing, and we will tell you if it is not worth doing.
A local consideration we always raise: Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Northumberland?
Yes. We cover the whole of Northumberland including Blyth, Cramlington, Ashington, Morpeth and the surrounding villages. Northumberland exposure justifies the heaviest sections and stainless fixings. Because the harshest combination of cold, wind and salt in England, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
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 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.
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.
