Costs for draught-proofing

Prices for basic draught-proofing for sliding sash windows

I am frequently asked to give basic prices for my work for draught-proofing. Not everyone wants or needs their windows to be paint stripped and redecorated, new fittings added and all the other additions, some people just want their draughts stopped.

If so, this page is where you'll find the costs to get me to draught-proof your sliding sash windows.

Work carried out

The work carried out is sashes removed from the frames, any restrictions of sash travel removed, old cords removed, new cords attached, weight run is hoovered out, groove routed into the middle rail, sashes weighed and balanced, new parting and staff beads cut, then sashes replaced and parting and staff beads installed.

Prices

Approx six-foot square (approx 3'x2') sliding sash windows minimum €600

Approx twelve-foot square (approx 3'x4') sliding sash windows minimum €650

Approx 18 foot square (approx 3'x6') sliding sash windows minimum €800

Approx 24 foot square (approx 3'x8') sliding sash windows minimum €900

Other sizes of sashes outside these dimensions that would need to be judged individually. Factors such as are windows double-glazed will affect the cost as will.

Prices for doors to be draught-proofed

Depending on size and weight plus how old they are the cost is between €350 to €550

All prices subject to a visual inspection. Other costs may be involved.

John does great job, clean and tidy, arrives on time very knowledgeable, pleasure to deal with, windows and door work better now than before, draught proofing installed makes the property retain heat far more than before. Would recommend to anyone!

About Sash Windows

With more than thirty years of experience in carpentry, cabinetmaking, sash window construction and restoration as well as being highly qualified. When I started doing restoration I began to study the original construction techniques used by the master craftsmen who created the original pieces, and I have applied this knowledge in restoring their work to its original glory.

I have worked on large projects for the commercial, consumer and public sectors and completed successful restorations on pieces that were centuries old. Large or small, all work receives the same professional care and attention to even the most minute details, with the added benefit that the repairs will enhance energy efficiency considerably and reduce heating costs for the building when finished.
