About this deal

The recent trend for removing carpets to expose the floorboards has exacerbated this effect because cold air can flow unrestricted through the gaps between the boards.

Without this, all that moisture would collect within your loft space and then start seeping back into the livable areas of your home. As the name suggests, these are inflatable bags which can be fitted up the chimney before being pumped full of air. I suspect the opening is not perfectly square, so I would cut it to size with just a 'little' extra, then plane and sand edges to make it fit snug. Most purchases from business sellers are protected by the Consumer Contract Regulations 2013 which give you the right to cancel the purchase within 14 days after the day you receive the item.Compressible drought strips (bout a tenner from a DIY shed) fitted into the recess will make it airtight. Low Energy Supermarket advises no professional person be booked to conduct work until the goods are in hand and accepts no responsibility if persons are booked and goods are not in hand.

It fell on me once but that was due to high wind flow when a builder was breaking through the gable wall. If you have an unheated space below your ground floor (either a full basement or the void beneath a suspended floor) then you need to consider the ground floor as an external surface where you can lose heat. I am trying to replace a loft door the maximum available opening is 695mmx880mm there is enough room to have a 50mm architrave type trim around this opening.

Out of interest, the joiner told me to fit an extra catch on the door so it doesn't drop down accidentally.For keyholes that are regularly used the best option is a little swing flap which can be screwed or glued onto the door with epoxy adhesive. Letterboxes with flaps and brush seals are available and are worth considering if your current letterbox is a source of draughts. Couriers may leave a card which contains further instructions –however this will depend on the driver/courier and cannot be guaranteed. If you’re lucky this only causes heat loss in the winter and brings attic heat into the home in the summer.

If the loft hatch is hinged, the compression seal or the foam strip must be placed on the exterior perimeter on the top of the loft hatch.Draught excluder brush strips can also help keep debris out, whilst rain deflectors keep water away. If you constantly have to put up with a cold draught coming through your ceiling, particularly in the winter, you’ll no doubt be tempted to crank up your heating.

The ideal way to seal these service penetrations is with an airtight "grommet" built into the wall construction. Once cut to size, simply glue to the loft-facing side of the hatch door with your choice of adhesive.If sealing is poor, the loft hatch can act as a sort of chimney funnel and pull up warm air out of your home into the unheated loft space. If your loft space is currently uninsulated, this can make a big difference to the temperature of your home and your energy bills.
