Get your Doors Draught Proofed by the Saints!

Draught proofing an external door helps reduce cold air coming in around the frame and threshold, making rooms more comfortable and helping your home feel warmer in winter. Silver Saints provides draught proofing for standard external doors and French doors across London, using practical seal and brush solutions fitted by experienced handymen.

External door draught proofing in London

Cold draughts usually come from small gaps around the sides, top or bottom of an external door. On this service, we fit suitable seals to reduce air coming through those gaps and improve day-to-day comfort.

We draught proof:

  • standard front doors
  • standard back doors
  • French doors

How the service works

For most standard external doors, we fit a flexible profiled seal or brush seal around the perimeter of the frame. Where needed, we also fit a brush pile seal to the bottom edge of the door.

For French doors, the work is similar, but we also seal the meeting point where the two doors close together.

Because every door is slightly different, your handyman will first inspect the door, look at the condition of the frame and gaps, and talk through the most suitable draught proofing method with you before starting work.

How long it usually takes

  • Standard front or back door: around 60 to 90 minutes
  • French doors: around 1 to 2 hours

Pricing

This service is charged at our standard by-time rates:

  • £60 + VAT for the first half-hour
  • £30 + VAT for each half-hour after that

Your handyman will give you an estimate before work starts.

Areas covered

We cover all London, as well as TW, KT, CR and BR postcodes.

Appointments

We usually offer same-day or next-day appointments and work Monday to Saturday. We agree a specific arrival window, so you do not need to wait in all day.

What is included

  • Assessment of the door and likely draught points
  • Fitting of suitable frame seals
  • Fitting of a bottom brush seal where appropriate
  • Draught proofing for standard external doors or French doors
  • Clear estimate before work begins

  • a front door lets in cold air

  • they want a practical repair before winter

Draught Proofing French Doors

All our Saints are experts at draught proofing French doors. We have a system for draught proofing French doors and windows.

The system is similar to that used in the draught proofing of standard external doors in that we fit a flexible profiled seal or brush seal around the perimeter of the frame. We then apply a seal to the edge of the doors where they meet in the middle when the doors are closed.

Very good service from Silver Saints—quick response and professional staff. John D. was a serious and skilled builder who worked hard to deliver a high-quality result. Because of the drying time required for this specific job, a second visit would have been ideal for perfection, but John did an excellent job with the time he had.

Mick is an excellent central heating engineer and I would not hesitate in recommending him. Also Silver Saints are swift and reliable. However, I have taken one star off because they insist on indefinitely storing my credit card details on their data base, even though I am happy to transfer a deposit in advance of any job booking. I do not let any company store my credit card details, so unfortunately for this reason, I will not be using them again.
