£4 Draught Excluder Tape at B&M Highlighted as Quick Fix for Heat Loss

The Energy Saving Trust says sealing gaps could trim around £60 from a typical household’s annual energy costs.

Overview

  • B&M is selling a three-pack of water-resistant draught excluder tape for £4, roughly £1.33 per roll.
  • The tape is not listed online and has been found hanging in-store in unexpected aisles.
  • Reported guidance points to common leak points including external doors, windows, floorboards and skirting, chimneys and loft hatches.
  • Researchers report about 9.6 million UK households live in poorly insulated homes vulnerable to cold draughts.
  • Experts warn not to block essential ventilation needed to prevent damp and remove indoor pollutants, especially in kitchens and bathrooms.
