I will try anything

I'd still like to hear about the levels of insulation in the property, but to my mind it seems like the ground floor is excessively cold (dog paw referral) and could maybe benefit from extra underlay and a really thick carpet. I don't think we know how old this property is, but if it has an earth subfloor, there should be a gale blowing around down there anyhow.

Try hiring a disco style smoke machine. Close the doors and curtains and then set machine working.

Once there is a fair level of smoke switch it off so it doesn't create its own draught patten.

You should now get some idea of draught flow in that room by observing the smoke movement.

Repeat in each room. You will at least now have some indication of what is really causing the perceived draught rather than just relying on feelings. It should also give some real indications of improvements needed.

I think we could still help here, but I guess that may be it.....there's another post concerning a bay window which is worth reading.

I said I've plugged all the gaps.

If you're still getting major draughts then you haven't plugged all the gaps. Keep looking. [/logic]

Have you got air bricks venting the room from the outside, perhaps installed behind a radiator? Or do the new pic windows have built in vents? Or do you have open fireplaces in the rooms?

I think it's he OP has given up on this thread, time to move on unless the lady comes back and replies to any of our comments.

Maybe she cured her drafts by plugging her own holes!

have you thought about a Dehumidifier ,we've had one for about 20 years and we don't have central heating and the amount of water it takes out of the atmosphere which i'm sure contributes to making the house cold........
