I have Dg windows - my 'walls' are wooden framed bottom and two sides, concrete the other side (main wall between me and my neighbour)
I have 'streams' of water when it rains heavy on lower right of one window and both lower corners of the other
- i've pulled off the inside wooden sill and plaster board
the window 'sits' on black plastic (black plastic sits on the wooden 'beam' of house) - between the black plastic and the Dg window is where the water flows in - i've got a plastic bag taped under the back plastic and into a bucket - collects a good bucket full every other day when it rains
had a 'dg company' around said i needed all new windows - as there about 3m X 1m and cannot get frame up stairs will cost me (they have to hire a scaffold tower)
Have any of you out there heard of something similar?
I don't want to buy new windows if its another problem - and do you need the tower ? thought 2 guys up ladder could lift and another position from inside?
any advice appreciated :D
 
Sounds like a tube of mastic could solve the problem .
