Draught Proofing across Nottinghamshire
The Draught Proofing we make for Nottinghamshire is set out from a survey, not a size chart. Because the area is mainly coalfield terraces, Victorian lace-market frontages and interwar suburbs, no two openings measure quite the same. moderate inland climate with cold damp winters is the local complication, and sash cord and box frame failure in long-neglected Victorian stock is what it eventually causes. Where we put the effort is sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate.
Each opening is recorded individually, since a terrace of identical houses rarely is. Tell us the problem rather than the solution and we will advise on both.
A local consideration we always raise: the lace market and Park Estate carry dense listed-building coverage.

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 Nottinghamshire?
Yes. We cover the whole of Nottinghamshire including Nottingham, Mansfield, Worksop, Newark-on-Trent and the surrounding villages. The lace market and Park Estate carry dense listed-building coverage. Because moderate inland climate with cold damp winters, we allow for it at survey stage rather than discovering it on the day.
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.
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.
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.
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.
