Draught excluders fitted properly to doors and windows - brush strips, compression seals, letterbox covers all installed. Stop feeling that cold air and wasting money heating the outdoors.
Stop Heating The Street
Feel that cold draught shooting across the room every time the wind picks up? That's your expensive heating escaping and cold air rushing in.
Doors, windows, letterboxes, keyholes - all letting air through. Seal them properly and your house stays warmer, quieter, and cheaper to heat.
💡 Pro tip: Older Teignmouth properties are notoriously draughty. Victorian and Edwardian houses were built before central heating existed - they rely on fireplaces and air circulation. Modern draught-proofing makes them way more comfortable without losing the character.

Good to Know
> 💰 **Energy savings:** A properly draught-proofed house can save 10-15% on heating bills. The materials cost £50-150 for an average house. Pays for itself in 1-2 winters. **Whole house approach?** Makes sense to do all external doors and ground floor windows together. Maximum impact, better value, one visit. **Old vs new properties:** Newer houses (post-1990s) usually have decent draught-proofing already. It's the older Exeter properties - Victorian, Edwardian, 1930s - that benefit most. **Don't seal everything!** Houses need some ventilation. I draught-proof doors and windows but won't seal vents, airbricks, or necessary ventilation. A bit of controlled airflow is healthy.
Frequently Asked Questions about Draught excluder fitting in Teignmouth
Do draught excluders actually make a difference?
Absolutely. A draughty door or window can lose as much heat as leaving a small window open. Seal it properly and you'll feel the difference immediately - and see it in your heating bills.
What types of draught excluder do you fit?
Depends on the gap and location. Brush strips for door bottoms, compression seals for door frames, self-adhesive foam for windows, keyhole covers, letterbox seals. I'll use whatever works best for your specific situation.
Can you draught-proof old sash windows?
Yes - there are specialist brush seal systems designed for sash windows that don't stop them operating. Much more effective than those stick-on foam strips that peel off after a month.
Will draught excluders damage my doors or windows?
No - modern products are designed to be fitted without damage. Brush strips screw in, compression seals fit in the rebate, self-adhesive ones peel off cleanly if needed. All reversible.
How long do draught excluders last?
Good quality ones fitted properly last 5-10 years easily. Cheap stick-on foam strips last about one winter. You get what you pay for - I use stuff that actually lasts.
