Draught Proofing across Somerset
Draught Proofing in Somerset rewards patience at the setting-out stage. The building stock is Bath stone Georgian terraces, Levels farmhouses and Victorian seaside stock, so we expect variation before we ever pick up a tape. Then there is very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels, which reliably produces prolonged saturation causing frame distortion and sash binding given enough seasons. In practice that means sealing the perimeter without making the sash stiff to operate.
We survey before anything is cut, so the schedule reflects the opening as built rather than as drawn. Tell us what you are working with and we will put a fixed figure in writing.
One thing that catches people out here: Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny.

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

Brush seal systems that stop movement without making the sash stiff.
Honest condition survey
Including telling you when a window is genuinely beyond saving.

Frequently asked questions
Do you cover Somerset?
Yes. We cover the whole of Somerset including Bath, Taunton, Yeovil, Bridgwater and the surrounding villages. Bath's World Heritage status makes joinery detail subject to close scrutiny. Because very high rainfall with standing water across the Levels, 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.
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.
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.
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.
