DRAUGHT PROOFING IN DORSET
Looking for expert Draught Proofing in Dorset? Many period homes and heritage properties across the county suffer from timber windows that are painted shut, rattling in the wind, or letting in uncomfortable draughts due to years of wear and tear.
The gaps around a typical single sash window can total up to 30cm² – enough to cause serious heat loss, cold spots, and higher energy bills during the colder months in Dorset.
Properties near the Dorset coast or in exposed rural areas often suffer additional wear from salty air and prevailing winds – accelerating timber movement, swelling, and general deterioration over time.
Our discreet draught proofing system for timber sash and casement windows is designed to seal those gaps, stop rattles, and improve energy efficiency – all while maintaining the charm and appearance of your original windows.
If you own a property in Dorset and want to retain its heritage character while reducing heat loss, our Draught Proofing Package offers a cost-effective and 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
- Installation of discreet draught-proofing throughout

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.
