Timber glazing upgrades in Totterdown
Most Draught Sealing enquiries we take in Totterdown start with an opening that is not a standard size. Local stock is dominated by Georgian Clifton terraces, Victorian bay-fronted streets and converted warehouses, which sets the sizes and profiles we work to. Then there is mild wet westerly weather with limited hard frost, which reliably produces moss and algae growth followed by paint blistering on shaded elevations given enough seasons. Where we put the effort is sealing the perimeter without making anything stiff to open.
Every job is measured on site first, because drawn sizes and built sizes are seldom the same. Photographs and approximate sizes are all we need to start.
Something particular to this area: Clifton's Georgian stock frequently requires exact sash box replication.

“The survey showed most of the loss was around the frames, not through the glass at all.”
Verified client, Bristol“Half the cost of replacement and the rooms hold heat noticeably better.”
Verified client, Bristol“They fitted trickle vents we had not thought about, which stopped the condensation.”

Do you fit, or supply only?
Both. Supply-only is common for trade and contractor clients. For private clients we usually recommend supply and fit, because responsibility for the fit and the finish then sits in one place.
Will the finish need maintaining?
A factory-applied microporous finish typically needs inspection every three to five years, sooner on exposed coastal elevations. Maintaining it is far cheaper than letting a coating fail and the timber take up water.
Do you work in hardwood or softwood?
Both. Engineered hardwood is the default where movement or exposure is a concern, and slow-grown softwood is often the better value choice for painted work in sheltered positions. We will tell you which we would specify and why.
Do you take a deposit?
Not before the measured survey. A deposit is only requested once the survey is complete and you have approved the final schedule and price.
Can you price from drawings?
Yes. Send a drawing set or a schedule and we will price against it. If anything is ambiguous we will query it before quoting rather than assume and reprice later.
