Thanks Foxhole; it's a one level flat in a low rise block, but there are some windows accessible! Personally I would like to get a pro round to pop and replace the window but getting this paid for by the people who fitted the floor may prove tricky. I will suggest they do this themselves (and...

Thank you both for your wise words; the saga continues! On your advice, I have googled further and forwarded this to the floor layers. http://manuals.woodyoulike.co.uk/spaces/manualwyl/manuals/install/lessons/5404-Gaps-They-are-there-for-a-very-good-reason- 'Doorposts: undercut architraves...

Thanks for your ideas! I can get my hand in through the letter box and have tried pushing the floor down with a walking stick to no joy. The people who fitted the floor are suggesting I should have left the heating on and that damp has got under the door (I think this is highly unlikely as there...
