Hi mstdn.business We're very happy to be here. We're a UK family business that designs and builds the Petflap and Maxflap draughtproof pet doors and the bespoke draughtproof Letterplate Eco. We're about a lot more than that though. Follow us for the wide view of #energyefficiency in all its aspects, #draughtproofing and #homeimprovement. Whatever else this account is about, we promise not to post #cat content. Or not much.

Happy as a pig in ****. Tracked down the draught that was driving me nuts. It was a gap between the new skirting board and the wall. Applied decorator's caulk and room is nice and toasty
