From Repairs to Full Installations – We've Got You Covered
Draught proofing involves sealing unwanted gaps around doors, windows, floorboards, loft hatches and other openings to reduce cold air entering your home and warm air escaping. It can help improve comfort and reduce unnecessary heat loss.
The cost depends on the size of your property, the number of gaps that need sealing and the materials required. Simple door and window seals may cost less than more extensive draught-proofing work. A property assessment can help establish the cost.
Draught proofing can help reduce heat loss and the need for additional heating in draughty homes. Actual savings depend on the condition of your property, existing insulation, heating habits and energy prices.
Common areas include gaps around external doors and windows, letterboxes, keyholes, floorboards, skirting boards, loft hatches and unused fireplaces. The appropriate solution depends on the location and size of each gap.
Draught proofing can be a cost-effective way to improve comfort, particularly in older or poorly sealed properties. It can help reduce cold spots and unwanted air movement, although it may need to be combined with insulation or other improvements for better overall energy efficiency.
Yes. Some straightforward jobs, such as fitting suitable weatherstripping or a door brush strip, can be completed as DIY projects. More complex gaps or damaged frames may require professional repairs or specialist sealing.
Sealing unwanted gaps can reduce uncontrolled ventilation. However, homes still need adequate ventilation to remove moisture and maintain indoor air quality. Draught proofing should not block essential ventilation openings or air vents required for combustion appliances.
The lifespan depends on the materials used, the quality of installation and how much wear the sealed areas experience. Door brushes and weatherstripping may need replacing over time if they become compressed, damaged or loose.
Yes. By reducing unwanted cold air entering and warm air escaping, draught proofing can make rooms feel more comfortable during colder weather. It works particularly well alongside suitable loft, wall and floor insulation.
