DRAUGHT PROOFING IN DORCHESTER
Looking for expert Draught Proofing in Dorchester? This historic county town of Dorset is known for its charming period properties and character homes, many of which still feature original timber windows that may now be letting in draughts, rattling in the wind, or painted shut after years of repainting.
The gaps around a single sash window can add up to 30cm² – more than enough to create cold spots in your home, increase heating bills, and reduce comfort, especially during Dorchester’s damp and blustery winter months.
With its mix of town centre properties and homes exposed to the surrounding countryside, Dorchester often faces persistent wind, moisture, and airborne debris, all of which can speed up wear and tear on timber frames. Our discreet draught proofing system is designed to tackle these issues while preserving the original beauty of your windows.
Our service seals gaps, stops rattles, and improves energy efficiency on both sash and casement windows – all without compromising the character of your property.
If you’re based in Dorchester or the surrounding Dorset area and want to restore your timber windows with a reliable, heritage-sensitive approach, our Draught Proofing Package is the ideal 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.
