Professional draught proofing is likely to save more energy because the installer knows exactly the right materials to use and where to use them. Draught proofing will pay for itself within a few years because you’ll save money on your heating bill.

Draught proofing saves you money – and makes your home snug and pleasant.

The savings
Full draught proofing will save on average £25* per year. Blocking gaps around skirting boards and floor boards could save another £20* per year.

Draught-free homes are comfortable at lower temperatures – so you’ll be able to turn down your thermostat. This could save you another £55* per year.

How the savings add up
If every household in the UK used the best possible draught proofing, every year we would save:

• Almost £200 million
• Enough CO2 to fill nearly 225,000 hot air balloons
• Enough energy to heat over 260,000 homes
