Been to report on a job today that was fitted in feb 2010, 3 pvc windows were done and ever since then condensation has been dripping off the windows, pooling on the windowboard and running down the walls. The policy holder says the walls are usually wet through although toady being mostly sunny they were dry, this has happened since the windows were fitted, i did notice that no trickle vents were fitted on any of the windows, the customers copy of the contract has had a line put through trickle vents, it was my understanding that the part L regs said you must fit them on a new installation, regardles if they weren't there to start with, is this correct?
They have issued a FENSA cert and the windows are pilkington K, has saftey glass and fire escape hinges, just no trickle vents??? Would they really make a difference though, the customer says she has the top light open 2" at night so id of thought thats plenty of ventilation.
Any thoughts?
