Thanks for the feedback! Great idea to put an arrow on the pic (how did you do that?) so I can refer to things better. First, there's a small slot just under where the arrow head is. It cannot be seen unless from below. There's another one at the other end of the door about 15 feet away (no...

Ok, I'm trying to take on board all you're saying, jargon included. I've just looked at the sliding door and there are no water outlets along the frame when it's open. Someone said that there should be. I have now put sealant along the brush hair gap between the glass/frame and the bottom frame...

Thanks DHFrames for all your work on this!! First though, it isn't a 'tilt and turn' door. I said that was the original door fitted but it was useless. They came back and replaced it with a simple sliding door. (by the way, why can I see your pics but not my own?) The big difference between...

Well, I'm not sure the frame is fitted correctly... how can I tell? What does 'put the opener on the wrong side' mean? Do you mean the side of the door that opens? I haven't seen any drainage slots. I will have another look. No water can come through onto the sill outside because there's no gap...

Thanks everyone for staying with me on this. The door was fitted over 10 years ago. The fitters (OPW Walthamstow) put the opening door the wrong way round; it should have opened from right to left looking out onto the balcony from the room but it opens left to right. I was really annoyed about...

Thanks all of you, Going to bed now as I have my daughter staying this weekend but I'll get back to you tomorrow. I can't see my photo on this website but you all seem to be able to see it. Howzat? You are all so much more knowledgeable than me and are using techie terms so I will try to...

Here's a pic, hopefully! The gap along the side with the screws showing has a deep hole at the bottom, about 4cms. I can fill this hole with sealant and put trim along the vertical gap. But it is the small gap along the bottom of the window and the frame, marked by the line of brush hairs...

There is a river of water getting into the flat underneath me after every time it rains hard...like all of Dec, Jan and Feb! I notice that there is a small gap between the bottom of the window and the frame, with larger gaps at the ends. I was told that there should be an escape gap for water...

Thanks TicklyT. So, there should be about 80mm fall over the 2 metres of the length of the bath waste pipe? Well, it looks completely flat to me so no drop at all. Could there be a bend where the bath waste joins the stack so making a blockage? The blockage is quite solid, it doesn't feel...

I'm trying to help a woman in my flats who has kitchen waste coming up into her bath. I have cleaned out the pipework from the bath to the stack but cannot get any further into the stack as there is an obstruction (or is this normal?). The kitchen waste joins the bath waste about 12 inches...
