[standbyme]

Sounds like a silly question I know.

But I have drafts in my house and I am having trouble trying isolate where exactly they are coming from, can you hire someone to actually isolate where the drafts come from?

You've picked the wrong day to ask a silly question as a first post.

Try a draughtsman.
Also known as a draftsman.

Alternatively:
They're coming from outside. That'll be £100, please. Forget the VAT. Drafts are VAT free.

Not sure if people think I'm genuine or not but I am.

So I take it there no way to find out other than replacing doors and windows?

thanks.

Start with the obvious places such as doors and windows.

Skirting boards and closed vent covers.

Loft hatch, cubby holes, movement of air past closed internal doors etc.

Walk round with a lit candle.

Other than that use your senses.

You could pay someone with a thermal camera to take pics - probably GBP 200 ish

First learn how to spell, then google 'how to find draughts'.

A little tip for a better life, just google 'how to xxxx' where x = the problem you face.

First learn how to spell,

For someone who likes to shout at others about correct use of language, your own skill levels are fairly low. Mis-spelling "grammar" is fairly amusing though.

I cannot understand your post as it is rambling, incoherent and has poor grammer

It is inpolite for you to post on their behalf.

Apart from the spelling, what hideous breach of etiquette does this represent and where did you find it detailed ?

Indeed There is a way to find the draught - use a candle Elton John made a £ or two with his song Candle in the wind - and the principle that any small air movement will deflect a candle flame , can be used . I was taught that - amongst other tricks and things - when I was an Altar Boy

Yes you can.
Search for airtightness or locating air leaks and you will find sites like this:
