Do you cover Kensington for sash window draught proofing?

Yes — we cover Kensington and the surrounding streets weekly. Free on-site surveys are usually offered within 3–5 working days for homeowners in Kensington.

Can you work on listed period properties in Kensington?

Yes. Many homes in Kensington are Grade II listed or in a conservation area. Our draught proofing and restoration methods are reversible and conservation-friendly, and we regularly liaise with local planning officers where required.

How much does sash window draught proofing cost?

Draught proofing is priced per window, typically £150–£600 depending on size, condition and whether cords, beads or glazing also need renewing. Every quote is fixed after a free on-site survey.

How long does draught proofing a sash window take?

A typical Victorian or Edwardian sash window takes 2–4 hours to draught proof, service and rebalance. A whole house of 8–12 windows is usually completed in 2–3 days with minimal disruption.

Will draught proofing damage my period sash windows?

No. We use conservation-grade brush and compression seals routed into the existing joinery. The work is fully reversible, protects the original timber and is approved for use on Grade II listed buildings.
