DRAUGHT PROOFING IN BOURNEMOUTH
Looking for expert Draught Proofing in Bournemouth? This vibrant seaside town is home to countless period properties, including Edwardian and Victorian homes with original timber windows that may now be painted shut, rattling, or letting in cold draughts due to ageing and exposure.
The gaps around a typical single sash window can add up to 30cm² – enough to significantly affect indoor comfort and increase heating bills, especially during Bournemouth’s damp and breezy coastal winters.
With Bournemouth’s proximity to the sea, properties are often exposed to salty air, high moisture, and strong winds – all of which can speed up the deterioration of untreated timber windows. Our draught proofing solution tackles these issues while maintaining the heritage appeal of your home.
Our discreet system works on both sash and casement windows, sealing gaps, improving insulation, and stopping draughts without affecting the traditional aesthetics of your property.
If you live in Bournemouth or the surrounding areas and want to improve comfort while preserving your timber windows, our Draught Proofing Package is a smart, conservation-friendly solution.
DRAUGHT PROOFING & OVERHAUL PACKAGE
An Energy Saving, Heritage Approved Solution for Timber Windows
The most common problems we find with old timber windows that don’t have draught proofing are that they are either painted shut, rattle, let in cold air or have just been neglected and allowed to fall into a state of disrepair.
It is estimated that the gaps around an average single sash window can add up to the equivalent of 30cm square. These gaps let in cold air and keep you reaching for the thermostat, making you feel cold and costing you money on your heating bills.
If your windows are rattly and letting in cold air then our discreet draught proofing system will bring new life to any timber window and will dramatically improve energy efficiency at a fraction of the cost of replacement.
Our Draught Proofing & Overhaul Package is designed to breathe new life into original timber windows – improving their performance while preserving their historic charm. Whether you have sash or casement windows, this comprehensive service addresses common issues like draughts, rattles, poor operation, and energy inefficiency, all without compromising the appearance or character of your property.
Our carefully designed packages provide expert draught-proofing and overhaul services for sash and casement windows – helping homeowners improve warmth, reduce noise, and extend the life of their original timber windows.
WHAT’S INCLUDED
Included in the Draught-Proofing and Overhaul Package is:
- Removal and adjustment of opening windows
- Upgrades to ensure smooth operation and secure closure

This package helps eliminate cold draughts, improve energy efficiency, reduce noise, and ensure your windows feel secure and easy to use. All repairs are done with the utmost respect for your building’s original features, ensuring a seamless blend between old and new.
