The cold air seems to get in all around the door. Especially if we have a real fire going, the draught sweep in through the front door and on into our living room. We've put up with it for a few years but with the forecast of a cold winter coming, it seems it might be best to get it sorted now.
I'm thinking that a new heavy duty front door might be the solution but was wondering the following..
1) What would it cost to get such a new front door and how long would it take a reputable company to measure and fit it?
2) How hard would it be for a DIY novice like myself (favourite expression.."why can't they just tell us what to do instead of providing these unfathomable drawings" - expletives deleted)
3) Assuming we end up keeping the door, what's the best way of getting the draught protection we need while still being able to open the door easily enough when required?
I'd be really grateful if anyone could give me the benefit of both their experience and time on this.
Many thanks
