Draught in hallway...

    We seem to have a draft in our hallway & we can't figure where its coming from. We can feel a draft coming in the living room door from the hallway, and its very cold in the hallway compared to rest of house. It feels like its coming down the stairs from the landing, so I can only think that maybe the draft is coming down from the attic through the latch/attic stairs area?
    Is there a solution to this, what can we do to stop the draft?
    We are going to put a new seal around the front door as its wearing away a little (this could also be why there's a draft!). If we also put this seal around the attic door opening, would that help?

    This kinda stuff around your door and the wood frame that the attic door sits on should help

    Hot air rises and cold air sinks so make sure the windows up stairs are not leaking and that the rads are working and have no cold in the top of them or else they need bleeding.

    thanks! that looks like it should do the job. Just noticed, as its quite windy out that there is quite a draft coming in the base of the back door in the utility room, so that could be one of the main reasons! I will definitely be getting some of that draft excluder!
