Benefits
Why Choose us for Draught Proofing & Weatherproofing?
Improved comfort and lower heat loss
Targeted draught proofing removes cold spots and reduces heat loss from original timber sashes, so radiators perform more evenly.
Conservation sensitive work
We use discreet, reversible seals and traditional pile options where required to meet conservation area and listed building expectations.
Decades of joinery skill
Family craftsmen with 40 years of experience deliver made-to-measure repairs, finishing to match existing mouldings and backed by warranty.
What we fix, and how we approach it. Draughts through sash windows often come from shrunk glazing putty, worn sash cords, failing seals, or timber movement. We check the whole assembly, repair timber and pulleys where needed, then fit the appropriate seal: traditional pile for character windows, brush seals for slim meeting rails, or compression gaskets where greater airtightness is required.
Practical conservation is the priority. We match profiles and finishes so work sits discreetly within period sash detail. With a free survey and clear written plan, homeowners in Manchester and surrounding suburbs get a pragmatic solution that protects character, improves comfort and carries a workmanship warranty.

Frequently Asked Questions
No. We select reversible, low-visibility seals and traditional pile that respect the original sightlines. Installation keeps sashes operational and serviceable so you can maintain cords, pulleys and paint finishes without obstruction.
