Good advice, Can I get this stuff in B+Q, or should I be visiting a specialist shop?

Hi all, Looking at buying a house - bit of fixer upper we know. In the last 5 - 10 years the owner spent some serious money upgrading the houses original teak windows to be double glazed. I think a reasonable job was done, I am not sure how successful these "upgrades" ever are - but now the...
