YorEnergy is proud to partner with Wrapt Homes, an expert in finding and fixing draughts in homes across the UK. Their professional draught-busting service can make a major difference to how your home feels and how much you spend on heating.
What is the Draught Busting Service?
Draught busting is a specialised process that identifies and seals hidden air leaks throughout your home. While many people think of draughts coming from windows and doors, air can also escape through tiny gaps and cracks you might not even notice. These include spaces around skirting boards, behind electrical sockets, in floorboards, and even around loft hatches.
In many older properties, these small leaks can account for up to 20% of total heat loss, making your home difficult to heat and your energy bills higher than they should be.
The Wrapt Homes service works by addressing these vulnerabilities directly, ensuring that your existing insulation and heating system are as effective as possible. It is a quick, high-impact solution that saves you money and improves comfort without the need for major, disruptive renovations.
How the Service Works
Wrapt Homes uses a rigorous, professional process to find and fix every hidden air leak in your home.
-
Expert Draught Identification: The service begins with a blower door test. A powerful fan is temporarily installed in an exterior doorway, which depressurises the house. This action creates a controlled low-pressure environment, which exaggerates all the existing air leaks and makes them easy to find. The Wrapt Homes technician then uses a sensitive thermal imaging camera to see exactly where cold air is being drawn in from outside. This provides a detailed, visual map of all the draughts, including those you can't feel by hand.
-
Professional Sealing: Once every leak has been pinpointed, the team will seal them on the same day. They use a variety of professional-grade, durable materials that are chosen to suit each specific location. This includes long-lasting silicone mastic for small gaps and discreet draught stripping for windows and doors. The process is clean, non-disruptive, and ensures that the seals are neat, tidy, and built to last.
The entire service is designed to be completed in a single visit, typically taking just a few hours. Afterwards, you will receive a comprehensive summary report of the work completed and a clear overview of the expected energy savings.
