The benefits of draught-proofing are comprehensive. While 95% of draughts are eliminated, traffic noise is reduced drastically. Dirt and pollution ingress is minimized, and the sashes work seamlessly, without rattling in windy conditions.

Professional draught-proofing done by Nexus of Bath conforms to listed building and conservation area regulations.

According to Bobby, A Director at Nexus of Bath, “We are experts in sash window draught-proofing and paint systems in Bath, Bristol, and the South West of London, offering great cost-effective solutions to heat insulation while maintaining the authentic and original look of the window. Nobody wants to be near a worn-out sash window in winter. Our staff has been thoroughly trained and have comprehensive experience in the refurbishing of sash windows. Nexus of Bath also offers complete window painting services with many finishes to choose from, primed only, spray finish, brushed finish, or full micro porous system, in a comprehensive range of colours. The draught-proofing system is an ingenious, cost-effective solution to a huge problem.

English Heritage prefers professional restoration over a replacement of sash windows, because it preserves old timbers, and beautiful old glass, and retains the authentic look and feel of an old property and the neighbourhood, which is lost forever when replacing it with new wood windows.
Nexus of Bath offers a premium draught-proofing system, done in a highly professional manner by dedicated staff. The sash window is carefully dismantled. The sashes are weighed and checked to see that they correctly counterbalance. Brush strips are routed into meeting rails, after which pulleys are checked, thoroughly cleaned, and lubricated.

The skilled staff re-cord the windows with brand-new cotton sash cords and corrects the weights for perfect balance. Parting and staff beads are renewed and replenished with weather pile carriers and brush strips. Excess paint that may be obstructing the running surfaces is carefully removed. Rebalanced sashes are then refitted to align with the beadings.

All the exposed timber is painted with white primer by a qualified team of Nexus painters. After checking if the draught-proofing was successful and that the window works seamlessly, it is declared ready for further decoration by using the micro porous system.

The seasoned management team at Nexus of Bath recommends that sash windows should be inspected annually by homeowners and at least every five years by the expert team for problems and malfunctioning that could occur.

Older sash window problems are likely to have cracked and flaking paintwork, which will have to be repainted. Windows that tend to stick, can be problematic and this occurs due to the incorrect replacement of staff bead after recording or repairs. This can easily be fixed.

Paint build-up also causes unnecessary impairment of moving parts. Dismantled putty and broken glass panes detected during inspection are easy to replace. Other common problems encountered are broken cords, timber decay, and loose corner joints.
