Did you get an answer in the end?

Just spoken to the contractor who put the windows in. Conversation started with a blatant lie which set the tone. Said he couldn't get to us for 6 weeks (we're 5 miles from his business) because he's so busy. Then says the guarantee for installation is none transferable. Still offers to come...

Hello all! So, bought a house in 2021 and 6 months prior the previous owners had all the front windows replaced. All 4 sets have side hung, outwards openings. In the middle of the hinge side opening (vertical), there is a gap large enough to fit a piece of card through. A trades person who is...

This is the outside

Do you mean 25mm PIR? Will the DPC hanging loose mean that moisture is running to the end of it and then into the space below and plaster adjacent? Luckily, I’ve got a plaster coming next week who I’ll ask to tidy up any mess.

Hello all, Recently had some double French doors installed and I’ve noticed in the corner where the beads meet there is a gap. And, through this gap is coming a very strong draught - I’ve tried sealing the vents to see whether or not the draught was travelling through the door from the top to...

They’re there but the water is pooling on the side opposite to them.

Yes open inwards. I’ve added some additional photos including on of the inside of the frames - they have water resting in the bottom of the frame. The reveals are damp in the bottom corners.

Hello all! Looking for some help please. We had two new sets of French doors installed in summer. These have been fine until the really wet weather descended upon us. I’ve noticed damp patches appearing on the skirting, trim and plaster. There has also been some mould growth on the silicon...

Yeah it wouldn’t be far wrong..
