Event Description

Up to 50% of the heat we put into our Victorian/Edwardian houses escapes quickly through leaky or poorly insulated doors, windows, walls, floors, ceilings and the roof.
The first step towards greening your home is to stop draughts. You will notice a difference immediately and could see fuel bills reduce by 10-20%.
Normally expensive specialists are required to draught-proof sash windows but we have found a great DIY solution. COST? Around £6 per window (using bulk-bought draught strips at trade prices).
AVAILABLE ON THE DAY:
Sash window draught-proofing strip (£3/STRIP)
Door draught-proofing strip (£3/STRIP)
Bottom of door strip (£3)
Letterbox covers (PRICE TO BE CONFIRMED)
Radiator panels (£1 EACH)
Draught-proofing advice and physical help from neighbours (FREE)
Energy Efficiency Advice trained advisor –FREE

Comment by Sue on February 11, 2009 at 18:50: Please note we are not planning to order any more materials this year as we would have to store it all summer in our houses... so this is planned as the last major draught-busting event this year.
