Draught Proofing & Restoration in Corby
Routed-in brush pile, new cords and rebalanced weights turn a rattling original sash into something that seals and glides.
Timber moves. The craft in draught proofing & restoration is anticipating exactly how much, in Corby conditions, and detailing the joints and finish so that movement never becomes a problem.
What is included
- FSC-certified hardwood with documented chain of custody, available on request for planning submissions.
- Warm-edge spacer bars as standard, which cut the cold bridge at the glass edge and reduce condensation.
- Compression seals rather than brush pile where the design allows, for a measurably tighter close.
- FSC-certified hardwood with documented chain of custody, available on request for planning submissions.
We build draught proofing for Corby homes to the size of the hole in the wall, not to the nearest standard unit. That is the whole reason to specify timber in the first place.
Everything is made to order, so the quotation stage matters. We would rather spend an extra hour on the survey than get a section wrong.

Questions
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.
Do you take away the old windows?
Yes. Removal and responsible disposal are included, along with making good internally. We work one opening at a time so the property is never left open, and we clear the site each day.
