Klis Joinery & Carpentry

Helping London homeowners stop draughts, noise, and heat loss without replacing sound timber windows.

Not every timber window needs replacing. If your frames are structurally sound but letting in cold air, rattling in the wind, or driving up your heating bills, draught proofing is usually the simplest and most cost-effective fix.

We fit discreet seals into your existing sash, casement, bay, or bespoke timber windows that eliminate draughts while leaving the original joinery untouched.

Call us if you’re experiencing:

Original timber windows were often built with small gaps between the sash and frame to allow smooth movement. Over time these widen as timber shrinks, paint builds up, and old seals perish. If you can feel a draught with the window shut, seals are usually the cause, not the frame itself.

Loose-fitting sashes rattle in the wind and let outside noise through. If your windows are otherwise sound but noisy in bad weather or on busy roads, tightening the seal around the sash, rather than replacing the window, usually solves it.

Uncontrolled air leakage around window frames is one of the most common causes of heat loss in period homes. Draught proofing significantly reduces this without the expense of new glazing, often paying for itself in a few years through lower heating costs.

1. Cold air around closed windows

Original timber windows were often built with small gaps between the sash and frame to allow smooth movement. Over time these widen as timber shrinks, paint builds up, and old seals perish. If you can feel a draught with the window shut, seals are usually the cause, not the frame itself.

2. Rattling, whistling or street noise

Loose-fitting sashes rattle in the wind and let outside noise through. If your windows are otherwise sound but noisy in bad weather or on busy roads, tightening the seal around the sash, rather than replacing the window, usually solves it.

3. Rising heating bills

Uncontrolled air leakage around window frames is one of the most common causes of heat loss in period homes. Draught proofing significantly reduces this without the expense of new glazing, often paying for itself in a few years through lower heating costs.

FAQs

Your questions about
Draught Proofing answered

Draught proofing significantly reduces cold air, noise and heat loss, but no seal can guarantee a completely draught free result forever. Seals wear over time, and very old frames may retain some minor air movement even after treatment. What you can expect is a noticeable, lasting improvement, especially if your windows currently rattle or let in a clear draught.

No. Seals are fitted to allow smooth operation, and we test every window before we leave to make sure it opens, closes and locks properly.

Yes, provided the timber frame itself is sound. If the frame has rotted or is structurally compromised, we’ll tell you honestly and discuss repair or replacement first, before draught proofing.

Yes. Draught proofing is a reversible, non-invasive method and is generally well received by conservation officers, since it doesn’t alter the window’s appearance or original fabric.

 

Most homes are completed within a day, depending on the number of windows. We’ll give you a clear timeframe during your free home visit.

 

Properly fitted seals typically last 10 to 20 years, depending on how much the windows are used and general wear.

Yes. We work carefully around your existing windows and leave no mess behind. Every window is tested before we finish the job.

Draught proofing typically starts from around £280 per window, depending on size, condition and the number of windows. We’ll provide a clear written quote after a free home visit, with no hidden costs.
