Basic draught proofing is not difficult. With the possible exception of a caulking gun, you will probably already have all the tools for a basic draught proofing project. The materials are a bit more specialised, but all are generally readily available from your local hardware shop, one of the DiY superstores or a builder’s merchant. Read more about Tools and materials.
Basic draught proofing projects tend to focus on four sources of draughts:
- ill-fitting windows and doors
- gaps in floors
- gaps at ceiling and loft level
- gaps around openings in external walls (including for windows, doors and pipes).
You can read more about each by clicking on the underlined links, or by using the drop down menu as an alternative.
