Cold drought in kitchen

8 replies

Help! Our kitchen is freezing, we can feel the cold coming in from the west wall (prevailing wind direction) and it’s from behind the washing machine, kitchen sink or dishwasher. I think kitchen sink. What can I do? How can I stop the cold?
thanks.

But your bins against that wall outside?

You need to have a proper explores along the brick and see if there is a gap somewhere.

Do you really think parking the bins there would help?

Worth a go surely?

In one of our rooms it was gaps behind the skirting board that I eradicated with expanding foam filler.

Airbrick on the wall somewhere? We have one placed at the back of our dishwasher. I can feel the draft when I stand in front of it.

Had the same. Coming in from the vents where tumble dryer hose was before we moved it so put a tea towel over it

Are all the pipes sealed properly, we're mid renovation and where the newly 70mm insulation is, the sockets haven't yet been put properly back in and it's a hell of a draught putting your hand over it! The wood basket is over it just now.....

I’ve ordered some expanding foam. Can I just stick it everywhere I feel a draught?
