I would get them back should not be any gaps.I prefer to put a good line of sealer and then super glue a piece of trim ontop to cover the sealer are you sure they haven't done this most fitters cover all silicone now and it can look unsealed.

My wife and daughter just shared a nice hot bath am I ever in the good books.No way could I get the div valve to seperate though,stuck fast it was.I changed the diaphragm in the dhw manifold and gave the valve a good rinse and clean put it all back together and bingo.My plumber told me it would...

Are you sure everything has dried out. do the windows have trickle vents and have you had any heating in the extesion on yet if the inside pane of glass is really cold any moisture in the air will condense on it.If so get a heater on in there and see if it gets any better.

Well they look nice but are drafty as hell and always end up painted shut.

P.V.C tacky? doesn't rot or need painting you can sit in your garden drinking pimms while he's rubbing down and painting his frames. Most d glazing firms now do folding doors although I prefer french doors with side lights.How big a hole do you need. Ring around local firms and see who does...

You should always put s/units in a proper frame or they will break down in no time. sit the frames back a little from the outside face of the wall this will give you room for a trim and seal on the out side. The frame may now project into the room a little but this can easily be trimmed up you...

Ah ha having seen pics I have to say it is most likely not a need for c trays,as the wall is rendered water sealer would not kake to the paint and although it might benefit from a coat of masonry paint I fear this will not solve you leak. What you have is an ultralite 500 roof at a very low...

well i pushed the pin in the valve and water came out so i guess that means the diaphragm is shot. I like to do things my self but the gas valve went so I got a man in to fit new one only to find I have no hot water now either.I think this is due to the 3 port valve I have a service kit for...

Have seen this alot most d glazing firms don't fit c trays its not always an issue.If the original contractor will not fit foc and its down to you I would suggest a good coat of thompson water sealer on the whole wall.As the problem is water penetrating the outside brick skin travelling down...
