Sash window draught proofing in Dorset

The staff and parting beads are replaced with brush-seal beads and a draught strip is fitted. This stops rattles and draughts without changing how the windows look.

Questions

How much does it cost?

Every job is different, so we offer a free visit and a fixed-price quote.

Is it worth restoring my windows rather than replacing them?

Usually, yes. Original timber is often better quality than modern softwood, and a restored window can last for decades. It also keeps the character of the house and is often required for listed buildings.
