Want to Save Money? Try Draught-Proofing
As well as restoration work we can expertly draught-proof in the Hendon area. Whether you want this work as part of a repair or as a separate job, we can help. With energy costs at an all-time high, having draught-proofing put in will save you money for years to come — about £60 per year, to be precise. The average energy bill in Hendon increased by 76% from 2021 to 2022, but you can start saving by contacting us today.
Lower energy use also means your carbon footprint will be smaller. Other benefits include:

- Quietens the opening/closing of windows
- Stops rattling
Draught-proofing original sash windows is a much cheaper option than replacing them with double-glazed windows and provides the same benefits. It's more environmentally friendly, too, and the appearance won't be changed. Separate draught-proofing cost starts at £320 per window.
Our draught-proofing services include the following:
- Prepare frames before installing the draught-proofing system
- Install a new parting bead
- Replace the staff bead
- Replace or install a draught-proof strip to the top rail, meeting rail and bottom rail
For double-glazed sash inserts, we can also upgrade your existing box sash frames without replacement of the full frame.
