Draught-proof doors and windows
-
Hunt with a candle on a windy day.
A flame walked along frames flickers at every leak. Doors, windows, letterbox, loft hatch, outlets on outer walls.
-
Seal window frames with the right profile.
Self-adhesive EPDM rubber profiles, size matched to the gap by the paper test: a sheet pulled through a closed window should drag.
-
Brush the door bottom.
A screwed brush strip beats the fabric snake: it works when you forget it.
-
Do not seal yourself airtight.
Homes need air exchange: keep trickle vents open and keep airing by schedule. The goal is stopping wind, not breathing.
-
Feel the difference at the meter.
Draught-proofing is the highest-return efficiency work in an old flat: hours of work, years of payback every winter.

No gear needed. Your pot, a timer and ice are enough. That is the point.
