Hear from our customers:
"...the Sapien team just sealed up every draught entry point in our home and we couldn’t be happier! We felt the substantial difference immediately and have been using our heating less and on a lower temperature. The windy conditions in Melbourne lately would’ve made our home unbearably cold and the doors would’ve rattled, instead we have been nice and cosy in our much warmer home. Sapien were wonderful to deal with, they are friendly and professional and really know their craft…..thank you all so much. Would highly recommend!!"

"Thank you so much Arky and team! Highly recommend - incredibly responsive, knowledgeable, thorough and all round lovely. Sapien did an awesome job in a quick turnaround and we can already feel the difference to the warmth of our house. Game changer 😊 thank you!"

"We organised Sapien to do a draught proofing audit in February, they found all kinds of hidden spots around our house where air was leaking and provided a very thorough report as well as explaining what could be done to fix each one. We had a go at some of the easier jobs and organised them to do the trickier ones (door and window seals, skylight, manhole, NBN data point). They did a brilliant job and our heater comes on much less than previously and our house actually maintains the temperature it is heated to now! I will be recommending Sapien to anyone who will listen :)"

"Arky and his team identified every place that may leak draught and sealed them all up. The result is amazing, we instantly feel the house has become much warmer, we could do away jackets on days and nights that we used to layer up, on some days with an outside temperature that we would definitely turn on the heater in the past, we could now just leave it off.
Arky and his team were punctual, professional and polite throughout the whole process, they are a pleasure to do business with. I recommend his service to everyone whose residence has bad insulation/heat retention. You should consider the service he provides before jumping down the rabbit hole that is double glazing windows which could be rather expensive and may have poor ROI unless if you plan to live in the same place for up to 20 years."

This is a home improvement service I didn’t know i needed! After spending 6 years in my house that had multiple draught issues, now the house holds temperature and holds it evenly throughout the house. It made a bigger difference than replacing the heating unit.
Arky and his team take pride in their work. They genuinely care about the end result and not just tick the boxes for what’s quoted. The attention to detail was amazing, they have filled every single hole in the house. An unintended consequence is that the house is quieter!
Couldn’t be happier. If you have an oldish house and if you find the house does not heat evenly or that heat doesn’t hold up, get an inspection done by Arky. You won’t be disappointed.

"Arky and his team draught-proofed my 1950’s brick townhouse in July. I cannot believe the difference!
In Melbourne’s cold winter, I now turn my gas heating off after 2 hours - of an evening. And I remain in a Tshirt!
Sapien’s energy audit was an educative and thorough process. It was a pleasure having Arky and the crew working in my home. They were energetic, friendly, and totally dedicated to the work they undertook over the 2 day project.
Can’t recommend this company more highly 👍😊"
K Tinkler
"After 8 years of cold winters in our house Arky located what had been causing us to rug up with beanies and puffer jackets to keep warm. We now wear t shirts and dont have to push temperature up to 26 degrees - we now have the place warm at 19/20 degrees.
What an awesome service - would recommend anyone to have Arky and his team come and sort out your draught issues."
B Gardiner
"Very thorough, friendly and professional service from Arky and the team at Sapien. They prepare a comprehensive report on draughts/air leaks, take the time to walk you through the remediation options, and scope works in collaboration with the client. Then the quality and attention to detail in the draught proofing work was exceptional! They really care about the outcomes they are delivering in terms of thermal comfort and energy efficiency, and this drives them to provide a very high level of service. Recommend highly!!"
