We have double glazing throughout our house, however there are a few noticable draughts through the house and one of the windows has a broken lock which is obviously a security concern primarily before being a point where the efficiency of the window is compromised.
Excepting the broken lock, could the draughts throughout the house be a result of either poorly fitted windows, or is it more likely that it is because of poorly sealed glazing work?
I guess what I want to know is whether it is advisable to get a glazing company to come in and re-fit the windows etc or whether they would be able to re-seal the windows, or hopefully not that the answer would be that I just need new glazing.
With regards to the broken lock, can these be easily replaced? I would assume there are hundreds of thousands of different lock types for double glazing and their varying window types. Can anyone advise on how to find a replacement for my particular type of lock?
It should be noted that I have no idea or paperwork to let me know who actually fitted the glazing. It was fitted prior to my buying the house.
