We’re a volunteer team of local people. Some of us are also MaidEnergy directors.

Runnymede DraughtBusters is a team of experienced volunteers who want to help people with draughty homes struggling with their energy bills.  We cover Egham, Englefield Green, and Pooley Green.

What can we offer?

We give advice about draught proofing and also on how to manage your heating system. Most homes could benefit from some additional draught proofing, and it is not hard to do.

We don’t undertake major improvements like loft insulation, new windows and doors, or cavity wall insulation, but we can undertake small tasks which can make a difference.

We can also guide you to schemes to help fund larger scale work. We don’t make recommendations on specific contractors.

The DraughtBusters draught proofing service targets those in most need. The priority groups are people living in energy poverty, families with young children, the elderly and people under debt management, and we will help others too if they ask. Many are referred to DraughtBusters through the Citizens Advice Bureau, the Council’s welfare scheme, local debt advice agencies, GPs, churches and charities. Others contact us direct, often because they’ve been told about us by someone who has previously been helped by DraughtBusters.
