DRAUGHT PROOFING IN ILFORD
Looking for expert Draught Proofing in Ilford? This busy East London town is known for its mix of Victorian, Edwardian, and modern homes, many with original timber windows that may now be letting in draughts, rattling in the wind, or painted shut from 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 Ilford’s damp and chilly winter months.
Close to busy roads and open green spaces, homes in Ilford often face persistent wind, moisture, and airborne debris, all of which can speed up wear on timber frames. Our discreet draught proofing system tackles these issues while maintaining your property’s original look.
Our service seals gaps, stops rattles, and improves energy efficiency on both sash and casement windows – all without compromising your home’s character.
If you’re based in Ilford or the surrounding East London area and want 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.
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.
