Find a professional draught proofing service near you

Draught proofing services include finding and sealing gaps where draughts may be coming through. This solution keeps the cold air out of your home to keep it warm, comfortable, and energy-efficient.

Find Taskers who can draught-proof your windows, doors and other areas in your home with accidental gaps. Here’s an overview of draught-proofing services you can book on Airtasker: 

Draught proofing windows 

Draughts are common around window frames, window sills, and gaps around locks and hatches. For windows that open, a specialist may use draught-proofing strips to fill the gap between the frame and the window. Other draught-proofing materials include self-adhesive foam, plastic strips, and metal. 

For windows that don’t open, a specialist may use a silicone-based sealant to fix the draughts—looking to replace your entire old window or a chipped window pane? Taskers can also help with your window installation and repair needs. 

Draught proofing doors

Air can leak through external and internal doors, especially in poorly fitted doors. A specialist can draught-proof a front door or garage door by sealing gaps at the bottom and edges. They can also fill cracks in keyholes and letterboxes with the right size of material. 

Draughts can also occur in internal doors that lead to a room you don’t usually heat. Cold air from the kitchen or spare room can move into other rooms in your house or flat. Your Tasker may draught-proof your internal doors, sliding doors, and even your cat flaps. 

If you need to install a new door or repair your sliding door, we can connect you with door fitters and repair specialists near you. You can also hire a heating & cooling expert to inspect and treat your heating or air conditioning system. 

Draught proofing floorboards and skirting boards 

Draught proofing floorboards and skirting boards may involve squirting filler into the cracks. A specialist may block gaps using silicone-based fillers, decorator’s caulk, or mastic-type products. Careful application is essential, as fillers can block holes permanently. 

Hire a skilled specialist to make sure to apply fillers correctly and wipe off any excess filler before it dries. If necessary, you can also hire a Tasker to insulate gaps between your floor and skirting board. 

Draught proofing walls 

A draught-proofing specialist may fill in cracks in walls with hard-setting fillers or cement. They can also draught-proof around ceiling-to-wall joints and electrical fittings in walls and ceilings. Large cracks in your wall may be a sign of other structural issues. In which case, a surveyor can assess your home for any structural problems.  

Draught proofing loft hatches 

Your home may be losing hot air from draughts around your loft hatch. Hot air rises and gets lost in the cold space in your loft. A specialist can insulate your loft, attic, or roof space using strip insulation or other appropriate materials. While insulating your attic, you may take this opportunity to hire a cleaner to vacuum or mop down your attic as well.
