Draught proofing my home. Any advice please?

Hi we live in a 1930's solid wall house that is very draughty. The main problem is the under stairs cupboard. There are big gaps around the pipes that go out through the floor boards and there are also gaps between the boards. The wind blows through the gap and under the cupboard door to the living room. What's the best…

My solution to the draughty under-stairs cupboard was to draught-proof the cupboard door. Stick-on foam insulation around the top and sides of the door, and a brush strip screwed on the bottom.

Hahaha...I might do that too...sounds like a plan to me.
