Yeah - if you just want to patch up the existing job rather than doing a proper renovation then look at those stick on rubber seals for windows and/or doors, screw on brass/metal and rubber door draught excluders, letterbox draught excluder etc.. Check if the chimney and/or wall vents are causing draughts too and address these if necessary (not simply sealing them up though!). Search for existing threads on chimney balloons etc.
I'll second that!! We had draughts blowing through the house for ages before i tracked down the cause and it was the chimney. Since we blocked it, the difference has been astounding!!
Just make sure you have some ventilation left in the chimney or you may face problems down the line.

Damp in the chimney and on the inside walls around it is one (the main?) possibility. Some level of ventilation should be maintained when you block draughty chimneys.Leo, what sort of problems?

Eh?!Remember draughts leads to damp
If its a new enough house check to see if the double glazing etc is stamped by the company and the time they were put in, they might still be under guarantee (typically 5 years)
Seals may just need to be replaced....Remember draughts leads to damp
