draft

Am having a hip to gable loft conversion done hopefully this Summer. I've heard in some quarters that the eves cupboard storage space should not be insulated and boarded up in order to allow flow of air. Yet many people apparently have this done, either to avoid drafts, heat loss, or for...

Hi so we've had this door fitted about 5 years ago I'm sure there a 10 year warranty with it. We've had nothing but problems the door is constantly dropping we've had them out twice to fix that last one was about 3 months ago, the guy mentioned they might have to change the hinges. We've also...

Recently took the extractor hood and splashback down to replaced and noticed especially over the last few days thanks to storm eunice. You can see straight outside (n) no wonder the kitchens always felt cold,and never seems to hold the heat. Any advice on what vent I should get for the...

It's cold and windy today and I noticed that there is a gale blowing through my bath overflow. Its a 1950's bath and the overflow looks just like the drain hole. The chain for the plug is attached to the centre of the overflow I have sellotaped a peice of plastic over the overflow but would...

Hi past few years I've noticed our patio doors seem to let a draft in I've tightened up the keeps messed with the hinges outside etc and they have improved but you can still feel the cold in the bottom corner. Noticed the rubber gaskets on the doors look a bit worn although the house is 9 years...

Hi, Lifted porcelain tiles a few weeks back and removed cement. Some of that cement was under the patio door base frame. Now there is a draft coming from that area (we can also see a black membrane). Is this simply a case of ‘plugging the gap’ / using sealant before levelling and installing a...

Hi, In the last 6 months we have purchased a house we have been renovating and have had nothing but issues :). The latest is heating and keeping it warm we have had all new central heating installed which does get the house warm but it soon loses its heat. I think this is related to the fact...

Ive recently bought a new house, initially the front door had no seal on the actual door so we got some seal and fitted it, problem solved? No. So the front door doesn’t seal properly unless the handle is pulled up and even then I’m sure it still lets a draft in, the handle isn’t still to pull...

When the weather is breezy we get the sounds of wind howling at our front door due to gaps around the edge. The house is around 10 years old and was initially fitted with the type of draft excluder shown in these photos. It appears to be U shaped in terms of a cross section and as per the 2nd...
