Hi there.
I have recently had a UPVC door fitted by a builder 'recommended' to me by a friend. Sadly, a few days after fitting it the door leaked from the bottom. I rang him and after eventually getting him to answer his phone after several days, I posed to him the problem, and was met with "just mop it up, doors leak on occasions". I fixed it myself after noticing the drainage from the door runs out to the exterior through the frame, cleverly the "builder" I use the term loosely, had sealed the door frame outside, not sealed it inside so essentially the water was escaping inside instead of out. Swapped the sealant round, problem solved...
Now, I have noticed its freezing in my porch. The door doesn't seem to be sealing on the opening side. By the handle theres quite a strong draft blowing through and there doesn't seem to be much noise reduction. Is there any adjustment in these doors? Im not going to contact the fitter again as Im sure you've gathered, my faith in him is zero... don't get me started on the job he did above the door.....
Any suggestions as to if and how the door could be possibly adjusted would be greatly appreciated.
