Hi,
I need advice, I have patio doors at the back of the house and over the last couple of years they have started leaking this year was particularly bad the walls at the side of the doors are very damp and my wooden flooring is soaking at the door I will be lucky to save it. Trouble is I am not sure where the water is leaking in from . I used a waterproof sealantall round the frame in jan to get over the winter but the wet has pushed it off. I think it is the seal/flashing arround the door frame where it meets the wall and floor I cannot see anything but to be fair I am at the stage where I do not know what I am looking for.
So here is the question do you think that someone would take the door out apply new flashing and sealant or whatever it needs and put the doors back in, there is nothing wrong with them and to be honest I cannot afford to replace them just now, on the other hand I cannot have water pouring in either. So where am I likely to find someone reliable to do it it is not a joinary job and window/door companies will want to replace. It was the kind of thing we might have tackled at one time but that time has gone.
Advice and suggestions please
