John’s reputation across Ayrshire has been built job by job. Here’s what customers say after he’s been out.
John draught-proofed our front and back doors with the right brush strips and threshold seals. The difference in the hallway temperature that winter was noticeable immediately.
Had John re-caulk the bath — the old silicone was black and peeling. He removed it completely and applied a fresh bead perfectly. Looks brand new and no more leaks.
John sealed all the skirting boards in our old Victorian house where cold air was coming up through the floor gaps. Made a big difference to how warm the rooms stay.
Common questions about draught-proofing & sealing in Ayrshire
Everything you need to know before getting in touch with John.
Draught-proofing is one of the highest-return home improvements per pound spent. The Energy Saving Trust estimates that draught-proofing doors and windows can save between £25 and £60 per year on a typical home — and older properties or those with multiple draughty doors and windows can save considerably more. The payback time on professional draught-proofing is typically less than one heating season.
It depends on the gap and the door type. Brush strips work well on the sides and top of most interior and exterior doors. Compression seals work better on doors that close tightly against a rebate. Threshold seals handle the gap at the bottom. For most exterior doors, John uses a combination of brush strips and a threshold seal to cover all four edges.
Yes — re-caulking is a standalone job that can transform the look and waterproofing of a bath without any replacement work. The key is fully removing the old silicone — applying new silicone over old never bonds correctly and fails quickly. John removes the old sealant completely, cleans the joint, and applies a fresh bead that bonds properly and lasts.
