Have you got double glazing?
Another way would be to light a candle beside the window to make sure they are filled properly!
Tosullivan,
sorry for butting in on post but just you mention smoke test. I am looking for a smoke pen, do you happen to know where I would get one. Thanks, I have a draught, bad one, under my sitting room door and am trying to find where it is coming from. Thanks if you do.
Hi, I live in a duplex and the upstairs rooms have been freezing, I just can't heat them. I might aswell be outside with a radiator it's is that bad.
I am in a new build. I got the builders to take a look and one of my double glazed windows wasn't put in properly, they said they fixed it but I can still feel a draught flowing through the top if the window constantly.
I then showed him the bedrooms and he commented that they were freezing, there was cold air blowing out of the sockets on the wall. He climbed out onto the balcony and discovered there was a hole in the wall that was not filled in, he filled it in with something. I have been on to the developer and the foreman doesn’t answer his phone. I’m sick of it at this stage and it is going to also make me sick!
How do I know now if the walls are insulated? And does home bond cover this? It annoys me that our insurance for our block policy will probably go up if I claim on this all because someone couldn’t do their job right in the first place!
No it's concrete build. I just think it's incompetent of them to leave a hole drilled in my wall without filling it. It could have started a fire if the rain had gotten to the electrics. What would this hole been drilled for anyways?
It annoys me that I have to pay for someone to come and take a look…. The builders are still on site, just avoiding all calls! I don’t have the money to pay for a surveyor! And it’s getting colder and colder! It’s a waste of energy and money trying to heat it. So frustrating!
A draft under you sitting room door is not a draft you should be worried about. Its obviously coming from somewhere else.Tosullivan,

what we have is a gale force wind, I am not joking.
it could be a combination of a lot of leaks including the air vents....coming from the upstairs aswell.Come on now, the source of that shouldn't be hard to track down.
