Draught Proofing & Restoration in Downpatrick
Routed-in brush pile, new cords and rebalanced weights turn a rattling original sash into something that seals and glides.
Every draught proofing & restoration we make in Downpatrick starts the same way: a surveyor measures the actual opening, records the existing profiles and checks how the reveal sits. Nothing is ordered from a catalogue.
What is included
- Factory-finished in controlled conditions — three coats minimum, fully cured before delivery.
- End-grain sealed at every cut before assembly — the single detail that decides whether joinery rots.
- Micro-porous finishes that let the timber breathe rather than trapping moisture behind a hard film.
- Factory-finished in controlled conditions — three coats minimum, fully cured before delivery.
Choosing draught proofing for a property in Downpatrick is mostly a question of substrate and detail. Get the timber and the sections right and the finish looks after itself for decades.
We install across County Down with our own fitting teams and make good internally as part of the price. No sub-contracted surprises.

Questions
Can I have double glazing in a conservation area?
Usually, yes — using slim-profile sealed units as narrow as 11mm, which fit within traditional glazing bar sections without fattening them. Conservation officers vary, so we specify from the outset to whatever the local authority has stated and provide section drawings for the application.
Do you repair windows or only replace them?
We repair wherever repair is the right answer. Rot is normally localised in a cill or the bottom of a stile, and splicing in new hardwood is typically a third of the cost of replacement. We will tell you honestly at survey which way the economics fall.
Can you match existing windows?
Yes. That is most of what we do. We record the existing sections at survey, reproduce the mouldings and sightlines, and match the finish. On listed buildings we will produce like-for-like profile drawings for the consent application.
Are hardwood windows secure?
Yes. Multi-point locking, laminated glass options and key-locking handles are all available, and a solid hardwood frame is considerably harder to attack than a hollow plastic one. We can specify to PAS 24 where a planning condition or insurer requires it.
