Back in feb i discovered that both bottom corners of my patio doors have been leaking for years, carpet and underlay plus skirting board soaked.
I have reparied and resealed the frame with Ronsil hardner and made a lot of repairs with sealant. However the water seems to be coming up through the floor slab under the doors in one area. The outside is 6 inches above a shingle soak away is sealed and the damp course look like it runs under the doors.The house is just under Ten yars old and still within the NHBC period
1 What more can I do
2 Can the NHBC cover this type of problem as I think the frames have to come out and the whole lot reworked.
Also on Next doors house has the same installation and same problem but to lesser degree.
thanks for advice
