Draughty House? Feeling Cold? Fuel Bills Rising?
Call in the Draughtbusters!
Sustainable Wantage volunteers can visit your home to assess and fix draughts so you should feel warmer and spend less money on your heating. Sealing up draughts also helps reduce our impact on the planet by decreasing the demand for fossil fuels.
This is a free service, thanks to Vale of White Horse District Council Climate Action Funding and donations. If you’re able to make a donation this will help us buy more materials to draughtbust more homes.
Draughtbusters runs September to April. For more information, or to arrange a visit during these months, please contact: wantagemix@gmail.com / 07768 767787 giving your name, address and phone number, and we’ll arrange for our Draughtbusters team to contact you.
If you would like to set up a Draughtbusting project where you live we’re more than happy to share our system and experiences! Get in touch with us here info.suswantage@gmail.com
